1. check whether the program is being executed in $PGDATA/..  This is
   necessary if the data tree is not in the standard place, as is the
   case with the Debian distribution (because of Debian policy).

2. give a clearer error message if the dumped data structure fails to
   be loaded.

SHARED_LIB:

needs to be changed to:
SHARED_LIB:-lc

I think this was also needed on AIX 4.2. Comments Please !!

If nobody objects, I suggest to make this change, since it cannot
break AIX 4.2 and is necessary on AIX 4.3

a non-leading % would be put into the >=/<= patterns.  Also, repair
longstanding confusion about whether %% means a literal %%.  The SQL92
doesn't say any such thing, and textlike() knows that, but gram.y didn't.

< 6.5 versions were just not affected by this bug due to locking.

2. varsup.c:ReadNewTransactionId(): don't read nextXid from disk -
   this func doesn't allocate next xid, so ShmemVariableCache->nextXid
   may be used (but GetNewTransactionId() must be called first).
3. vacuum.c: change elog(ERROR, "Child item....") to elog(NOTICE) -
   this is not ERROR, proper handling is just not implemented, yet.
4. s_lock.c: increase S_MAX_BUSY by 2 times.
5. shmem.c:GetSnapshotData(): have to call ReadNewTransactionId()
   _after_ SpinAcquire(ShmemIndexLock).

inheritance ... basically it was completely busted :-(

EvalPlanQualNext() when implemented it... -:)
Uncommented...

index, etc is too long, truncate until it fits.

I have updated my contrib code for version 6.5. In the attachment you will
find the directories array, datetime, miscutil, string, tools and userlocks
which replace the corresponding directories under contrib.

In contrib/tools you will find some developement scripts which I use while
hacking the sources. I hope they will be useful for some other people.

I have also added a contrib/Makefile which tries to compile and install all
the contribs. Unfortunately many of them don't have a Makefile or don't
compile cleanly.

PgDatabase::DisplayTuples and PgDatabase::PrintTuples.  This is incorrect
according to strict interpretation of the C++ spec, and some compilers
will reject it.  Also silence g++ warning about unused parameter.

	The patch will avoid to add .exe suffix to the pg_encoding
	binary.

trace.patch (compilation error)

        the gettimeofday doesn't compile under Linux with glibc2 because
        the DST_NONE constant is no more defined. It seems that this code
        (written by me) has always be wrong but for some reason working.

From: Massimo Dal Zotto <dz@cs.unitn.it>

man.patch (make inconsistency)

        the default target is 'install' instead of 'all'. So if you do a
        make without target you actually do a make install, which is not
        what one normally expects from a standard makefile.

From: Massimo Dal Zotto <dz@cs.unitn.it>

ecpg.patch (wrong makefile expansion in some cases)

        the ecpg Makefiles use a variable DESTDIR which is never defined
        except by debian/rules makefile, in which case the ecpg makefiles
        expand wrong pathnames. If we want to support a DESTDIR root it
        must be done consistently in all the makefiles, not just in ecpg.

From: Massimo Dal Zotto <dz@cs.unitn.it>

they were confusing because the large object tables themselves are not
shown.  (Besides, if you've got hundreds or thousands of large objects,
you really don't want to see 'em at all.)
Also, suppress all indexes from the \z ACL listing, since indexes have
no meaningful protection information.

given number of backends (-N), per recent discussion in pghackers list.

Get rid of it to make customization of NAMEDATALEN easier.

Make minor info and markup changes for v6.5 release.

Fix markup.
