Adjust get_*_path functions to be limited to MAXPGPATH.

timezone code and other places.

Remove elog() calls from find_my_exec;  do fprintf(stderr) instead.  We
can then remove the exec.c handling in the makefile because it doesn't
have to be built to suppress elog calls.

all the code that looks for other binaries.  I move FindExec into
port/exec.c (and renamed it to find_my_binary()).  I also added
find_other_binary that looks for another binary in the same directory as
the calling program, and checks the version string.

The only behavior change was that initdb and pg_dump would look in the
hard-coded bindir directory if it can't find the requested binary in the
same directory as the caller.  The new code throws an error.  The old
behavior seemed too error prone for version mismatches.

FreeBSD doesn't add .EXE to links.

prefix would fail, because the new path did not get propagated to where
it needed to be.  Note this would fail even with --enable-depend.

pg_depend to determine a safe dump order.  Defaults and check constraints
can be emitted either as part of a table or domain definition, or
separately if that's needed to break a dependency loop.  Lots of old
half-baked code for controlling dump order removed.

keywords.o.

except that it's more robust, reconnects less often, and is NLS'ed.

The -n and -N options were removed.  Quoting is now smart enough to
supply quotes if and only if necessary.

Numerical types are now printed without quotes, except in cases of
special values such as NaN.

Boolean values printed as true and false.

Most string literals now do not escape whitespace characters (newlines,
etc.) for portability.

SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION argument is a string literal, to follow SQL.

Made commands output by pg_dump use consistent spacing and indentation.

Some makefile simplifications.

configure.in.

or library directories on the command line.

$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) <object files> <extra-libraries> $(LIBS) -o $@

This form seemed to be the most portable, readable, and logical, but in any
case it's better than having a dozen different ones in the tree.

source directory.  This involves mostly makefiles using $(srcdir) when they
might have used ".".  (Regression tests don't work with this, yet.)

Sort out usage of CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS (and CXXFLAGS).  Add "override" keyword
in most places, to preserve necessary flags even when the user overrode the
flags.

DESTDIR=/else/where' and prepends the value of DESTDIR to the full
installation paths (e.g., /else/where/usr/local/pgsql/bin). This allows
users to install the package into a location different from the one that
was configured and hard-coded into various scripts, e.g., for creating
binary packages.

DESTDIR is in many cases preferrable over `make install
prefix=/else/where' because

a) `prefix' affects the path that is hard-coded into the files, which can
lead to a `make install prefix=xxx' (as done by the regression test
driver) corrupting the files in the source tree with wrong paths.

b) it doesn't work at all if a directory was overridden to not depend on
`prefix', e.g., --sysconfdir=/etc.

(Updating the regression test driver to use DESTDIR is a separate
undertaking.)

to one another. Sort out builddir vs srcdir variable namings. Remove some
now obsoleted make variables.

- Added code to dump 'Create Schema' statement (pg_dump)
- Don't bother to disable/enable triggers if we don't have a superuser (pg_restore)
- Cleaned up code for reconnecting to database.
- Force a reconnect as superuser before enabling/disabling triggers.
- Added & Removed --throttle (pg_dump)
- Fixed minor bug in language dumping code: expbuffres were not being reset.
- Fixed version number initialization in _allocAH (pg_backup_archiver.c)
- Added second connection when restoring BLOBs to allow temp. table to survive
  (db reconnection causes temp tables to be lost).

- connect as appropriate user in pg_restore with db connection
- dump owner of rule in pg_dump

- Support for direct DB connection in pg_restore
- Fixes in support for --insert flag
- pg_dump now outputs in modified OID order
- various other bug fixes

COPYs of pg_shadow and pg_group.

It also turns out that pg_dumpall was all but broken for multiple servers
running at non-standard port numbers. You might get the users and groups
from one server and the databases from another. Fixed that.

A little user interface and code cleanup along with that. This also takes
care of the portability bug discussed in "[BUGS] pg_dumpall" in March 2000.

standard targets and behaviour. Replaced Makefile.in's with
Makefile's and declared the respective variables in Makefile.global.

maintainer-clean target now available at top level, although it does
not work in the backend tree yet.

Cleanup pass over Makefile.shlib, renamed some targets and variables.
The shared library symlink tests are now done by make, not the shell.

ecpg: Remove one warning in sloppy flex output.

PL/Perl and Perl interface: the MakeMaker documentation is confusing,
the realclean target *does* "delete derived files", but it also
uninstalls them. Don't use that.

The submake targets in the various bin directories that update libpq
should `make all', not `make libpq.a'. That is a) unportable, and
b) doesn't build the shared library.

all the standard semantics. Also get rid of Makefile.in's on the
way and instead declare all variables in Makefile.global.

Add a check to configure for strdup
Remove all the '-ltermcap' checks from psql/Makefile
Have {psql,pg_dump}/Makefile modified if strdup doesn't exist on the system
