file containing the latest version of the JDBC driver, allowing it to be
compiled and used under JDK 1.2 and later.

NB: None (well almost none) of the new methods actually do anything. This
release only handles getting it to compile and run. Now this is done, I'll
start working on implementing the new stuff.

Now this tar file replaces everything under src/interfaces/jdbc. I had to
do it this way, rather than diffs, because most of the classes under the
postgresql subdirectory have moved to a new directory under that one, to
enable the support of the two JDBC standards.

Here's a list of files in the tar file. Any file not listed here (in the
postgresql directory) will have to be deleted, otherwise it could cause
the driver to fail:

separately from snprintf() --- HPUX, for one, has snprintf but not
vsnprintf.  Fix a minor typo in snprintf.c, too.

seem to be portable (HPUX doesn't like it, anyway).  Also, clean up
StreamConnection(), which was mis-coded to assume that the address
family field is already set when it's called.

to ensure that config.h is included as well.

out-of-sync routine prototypes ... the system doesn't compile without this ...

quite as unused as I thought ... how embarrassing.

Here's another patch for the libpq backend areas. This patch removes all
usage of "FILE *" on the communications channel. It also cleans up the
comments and headers in the pqcomm.c file - a lot of things were either
missing or incorrect. Finally, it removes a couple of unused functions
(leftovers from the time of shared code between the libpq backend and
frontend).

From: Magnus Hagander <mha@sollentuna.net>

Here is a first patch to cleanup the backend side of libpq.
This patch removes all external dependencies on the "Pfin" and "Pfout" that
are declared in pqcomm.h. These variables are also changed to "static" to
make sure.
Almost all the change is in the handler of the "copy" command - most other
areas of the backend already used the correct functions.
This change will make the way for cleanup of the internal stuff there - now
that all the functions accessing the file descriptors are confined to a
single directory.

 when deciding whether a field is a year field.  Assume *anything* longer
 than 2 digits (if it isn't a special-case doy) is a valid year.
 This should fix the "Y1K" and "Y10K" problems
  pointed out by Massimo recently.
Check usage of BC to require a positive-valued year; before just used it
 to flip the sign of the year without checking. This led to problems
 near year zero.
Allow a 5 digit "concatenated date" of 2 digit year plus day of year.
Do 2->4 digit year correction for 6 and 5 digit "concatenated dates".
 Somehow forgot this originally. Guess not many folks use it...

I think NAN is already guaranteed to be there from Jan's work on NUMERIC,
 but perhaps HUGE_VAL needs some #ifndef's in the same place.
Should also include "-Infinity" as -HUGE_VAL sometime; not there yet.

Use a <citetitle> rather than <xref> when referring to libpq
 since that chapter is not included in the tutorial.

Anything else is CPU overkill.
