semantics of RI operations.  Eventually we ought to look at making RI
work properly across inheritance trees, but not for 7.1 ...

recommendation from Paul Vixie.  Add a new abbrev() function to produce
abbreviated format as text.  No forced initdb, but new function is not
available unless you do an initdb or add the pg_proc row manually.

- Synced parser.

If pghost == "" and pgport == "" then PQsetdbLogin() fails with a
error message:

 Is the postmaster running locally
        and accepting connections on Unix socket '/tmp/.s.PGSQL.0'?

I see many applications such as PHP fails due to this behavior.
Now if pgport == "", then it is assumed to be a DEF_PGPORT_STR. This
is the same behavior as the version prior 7.1.

will not accept types named with operator names or vice versa.

added to support character set encodings.  However I noticed that the
encoding that is used isn't obtained from the DB.  Since Java uses
unicode UCS2 internally the character set encoding is used to translate
strings from/to the DB encoding.  So it seems logical that the code
would get the encoding from the DB instead of the current method of
requiring the user pass it as a parameter.

Attached is a patch that gets the DB encoding from the DB in the same
manner as is done in libpq/fe-connect.c.  The patch is created off of
the latest CVS sources (Connection.java version 1.10).

level" locks.  A session lock is not released at transaction commit (but it
is released on transaction abort, to ensure recovery after an elog(ERROR)).
In VACUUM, use a session lock to protect the master table while vacuuming a
TOAST table, so that the TOAST table can be done in an independent
transaction.

I also took this opportunity to do some cleanup and renaming in the lock
code.  The previously noted bug in ProcLockWakeup, that it couldn't wake up
any waiters beyond the first non-wakeable waiter, is now fixed.  Also found
a previously unknown bug of the same kind (failure to scan all members of
a lock queue in some cases) in DeadLockCheck.  This might have led to failure
to detect a deadlock condition, resulting in indefinite waits, but it's
difficult to characterize the conditions required to trigger a failure.

full word "version" where appropriate.

fixed version, otherwise you'll continue to encounter breakage.

then

  cp cert.pem $PGDATA/server.key
  cp cert.cert $PGDATA/server.crt

Thank you; this works.

applied to the duplicated subtree twice.  Probably someday we should
fix the parser not to generate multiple links to the same subtree,
but for now a quick copyObject() is the path of least resistance.

Document MasterSync.
Fix up a couple of print statements to respect $verbose and $debug.

observed by Inoue.  Also, don't call ProcRemove() from postmaster if we
have detected a backend crash --- too risky if shared memory is corrupted.
It's not needed anyway, considering we are going to reinitialize shared
memory and semaphores as soon as the last child is dead.

Finished build.xml and updated Driver.java.in and buildDriver to match how Makefile and ANT operate.
