when parsestate in makeRangeTable() already contains an
opened p_target_relation.

Fixed growing of backend if BEFORE DELETE trigger returns heap tuple
different from trigtuple.

but it saves almost 10% of the runtime in Charles Hornberger's optimizer
example, so what the heck ...

freebsd4.0 needed to be added to configure...

The following patch does two things.

 - Clarifies what the effect of allowing users to add new users (Thet
   become super-users.)
 - Makes the default database for the new user if they are not allowed
   to and the user agrees to create it.

Fix for BEFORE ROW UPDATE triggers: result tuple may be different
(due to concurrent update) from one initially produced by top level plan.

check if a rewrite rule on SELECT exists/not exists instead
of asking pg_get_viewdef() function.

identifier support.

Left are identifiers that contain non-alnum/_ chars.
So e.g. whitespaces in identifiers are still not
supported.

instead of SPI_execp() for simple expressions.

Included patches fix a portability problem of unsetenv() used in
6.4.2 multi-byte support. unsetenv() is only avaliable on FreeBSD and
Linux so I decided to replace with putenv().

result, too ... another little bit of speed for SELECT.

only once per SELECT, not once per tuple.  10% here, 10% there,
pretty soon you're talking about real speedups ...

primary key support cleanups from D'Arcy...

This implements some of the JDBC2 methods, fixes a bug introduced into the
JDBC1 portion of the driver, and introduces a new example, showing how to
use the CORBA ORB thats in Java2 with JDBC.

The Tar file contains the new files, the diff the changes to the others.
CHANGELOG is separate as I forgot to make a .orig ;-)

by about 10% which seems to be good for half a percent or so of a SELECT.

seems to have improved speed of routine by 5% or so ...

but useful speedup.

so that fetching an attribute value needs only one SearchSysCacheTuple call
instead of two redundant searches.  This speeds up a large SELECT by about
ten percent, and probably will help GROUP BY and SELECT DISTINCT too.

characters ...

was causing it not to detect out-of-range float values, as evidenced by
failure of float8 regression test.  I corrected that logic and also
modified expected float8 results to account for new error message
generated for out-of-range inputs.

buffering lost by not going through stdio anymore for client I/O.
