Should be "one-dimensional" and "dimensions".  Bruce, would you fix that
when you apply it?

1) improves performance of commit/rollback by reducing number of round
trips to the server
2) uses 7.1 functionality for setting the transaction isolation level
3) backs out a patch from 11 days ago because that code failed to
compile under jdk1.1

Details:

1)  The old code was doing the following for each commit:
   commit
   begin
   set transaction isolation level xxx
thus a call to commit was performing three round trips to the database.
  The new code does this in one round trip as:
   commit; begin; set transaction isolation level xxx

In a simple test program that performs 1000 transactions (where each
transaction does one simple select inside that transaction) has the
following before and after timings:

Client and Server on same machine

old         new
---         ---
1.877sec    1.405sec   25.1% improvement

Client and Server on different machines
old         new
---         ---
4.184sec    2.927sec   34.3% improvement

(all timings are an average of four different runs)


2)  The driver was using 'set transaction isolation level xxx' at the
begining of each transaction, instead of using the new 7.1 syntax of
'set session characteristics as transaction isolation level xxx' which
only needs to be done once instead of for each transaction.  This is
done conditionally (i.e. if server is 7.0 or older do the old behaviour,
else do the new behaviour) to not break backward compatibility.  This
also required the movement of some code to check/test database version
numbers from the DatabaseMetaData object to the Connection object.

3) Finally while testing, I discovered that the code that was checked in
  11 days ago actually didn't compile.  The code in the patch for
Connection.setCatalog() used Properties.setProperty() which only exists
in JDK1.2 or higher.  Thus compiling the JDBC1 driver failed as this
method doesn't exist.  Thus I backed out that patch.

platforms system(2) gets confused unless the signal handler is set to
SIG_DFL, not SIG_IGN.  pgstats.c now uses pqsignal() as it should,
not signal().  Also, arrange for the stats collector process to show
a reasonable ID in 'ps', rather than looking like a postmaster.

that should use regular errno, not WSAGetLastError(), now do so again.

backend files that it shouldn't anymore, causing compile failures.
Per report from Darko Prenosil.

of 'int4' and 'double'.  Add 'char' and 'int2' to allow user-defined types
to access the full set of supported alignments.

Dump the alignment and storage information for user-defined types (how'd
that manage to slip through the cracks?), and don't dump 'shell' types
that don't have typisdefined set.  Fix badly broken logic for dependencies
of type definitions (did not work for more than one user-defined type...).
Avoid memory leakage within pg_dump by being more careful to release
storage used by PQExpBuffer objects.

exec_eval_simple_expr shortcut, which was diked out in 7.1 because it
leaked too much space.  CVS tip now leaks no memory in Chris Ruprecht's
example, which formerly leaked to the tune of 500 MB.  (Much of this
is work that Jan already did; this commit just cleans up around the
edges.)

it copies the tupdesc into upper-executor memory.  This is necessary
for returning tuple descriptors without leaking all of lower exec memory.

I noticed that pltcl didn't have any way to get to SPI_lastoid like plpgsql does.. I started using pltcl a lot because I like to decide when and how my queries get planned.. so I put one together really quick

Sorry I don't have the original around to make a quick diff, but its a very small change... I think this should be in the next release, there's no reason not to have it.

its a function with no expected arguments, so you can use it like:
spi_exec "INSERT INTO mytable(columns...) VALUES(values..)"
set oid [spi_lastoid]
spi_exec "SELECT mytable_id from mytable WHERE oid=$oid"

It just didn't make sense for me to use plpgsql and pltcl, or just screw
them both and use SPI from C.

declare the getsockopt parameter as ACCEPT_TYPE_ARG3 to be consistent
with our other uses of getsockopt.

that call is not needed to prepare for SO_PEERCRED.  Also, simplify code
so that #ifdef SO_PEERCRED appears in only one place, to make it easier
to support other platforms with variants of this capability.

points out how silly it is to use Autoconf to test for a preprocessor
symbol, when one can equally easily #ifdef on the symbol itself.
Accordingly, revert configure to prior state and do it that way.

system supports SO_PEERCRED requests for Unix sockets.  This is an
amalgamation of patches submitted by Helge Bahmann and Oliver Elphick,
with some editorializing by yours truly.

platform.

TIOCGWINSZ is defined as follows:

    Linux       asm/ioctls.h
    FreeBSD     sys/ttycom.h. This file is included by sys/ioctl.h.
    Solaris     sys/termios.h

This patch tells print.c to know TIOCGWINSZ on Solaris platform. Same code is
founded in src/bin/psal/common.c.

substrings of two characters or greater, and is case-sensitive.

This patch makes it work correctly.  It generates only the suffixes of each
word, plus lowercases them - as specified by the README file.

This brings it into line with the fti.c function, makes it case-insensitive
properly, removes the problem with duplicate rows being returned from an fti
search and greatly reduces the size of the generated index table.

It was written by my co-worker, Brett Toolin.

too much WAL logs.

useful idea of where the mistake is when we issue syntax error messages.
Move the ClientAuthentication() call to where it should have been in
the first place, so that postmaster memory releasing can happen in a
reasonable place also.  Update obsolete comments, correct one real bug
(auth_argument was not picked up correctly).

more care with resjunk tlist entries than it was doing.  The original
coding ignored resjunk entries entirely, but a resjunk entry that is
in either the distinctClause or sortClause lists indicates that DISTINCT
ON was used.  It's important for ruleutils.c to get this right, else we
may dump views using DISTINCT ON incorrectly.

improve the DISTINCT-ON-clause recognizer routine to not be fooled by out-

This makes the script more legible (IMHO anyway) by reducing the need
to escape quotes, and allows us to execute successive SQL commands in
a single standalone-backend run, rather than needing to start a new
standalone backend for each command.  With all the CREATE VIEWs that
are getting done now, this makes for a rather substantial reduction
in the runtime of initdb.  (Some of us do initdb often enough to care
how long it runs ;-).)
