    here  is  the  patch  that  includes  PL/pgSQL into the build
    (currently with make errors ignored) and  adds  a  regression
    test for it. A clean build and regression ran fine here.

    Can you please apply it?

    The  tar  should  be  extracted  in  /usr/local/src/pgsql and
    creates the following files:

    src/pl/Makefile
            called by toplevel GNUmakefile and for now only calls
            src/pl/plpgsql/Makefile

    src/pl/plpgsql/Makefile
            calls  src/pl/plpgsql/src/Makefile  (here the call to
            make ignores build errors  -  this  must  be  changed
            later for the final release).

    src/test/regress/input/install_plpgsql.source
            SQL script installing PL/pgSQL language in regression
            database. Will be modified by  .../input/Makefile  to
            point  to  correct  PGLIB  directory where plpgsql.so
            gets installed.

    src/test/regress/output/install_plpgsql.source
            expected output for installation script.

    src/test/regress/sql/plpgsql.sql
            the main regression  test.  It  tests  functions  and
            triggers written in PL/pgSQL including views that use
            supportfunctions in this language.

    src/test/regress/expected/plpgsql.out
            the expected output for the above regression test.

    make_plpgsql.diff
            patch that adds some lines to

            src/GNUmakefile.in
            src/test/regress/expected/Makefile
            src/test/regress/input/Makefile
            src/test/regress/output/Makefile
            src/test/regress/sql/Makefile
            src/test/regress/sql/tests

 to clarify actual path used.

 Had removed PARSEDEBUG statements...

Modify comment blocks to insulate from pgindent.

Remove _all_ PARSEDEBUG print statements.

Add in, I think, support for %lld in snprintf(), specifically with
Irix in mind...

test passes.  Interestingly, the fix involves no changes or special
cases in the union test and actually removes a special case for the
numerology test.  Thus, following the strategy outlined below is a
definite improvement over the previous situation.

Cheers,
Brook

This patch covers several to-do items that I had for libpgtcl:

* It works under both Tcl 7.6 and Tcl 8.0 now.  (The code claims to
  work under Tcl 7.5 as well, but I have no way to test that ---
  if anyone still cares, please check it with 7.5.)

* pg_listen suppresses extra LISTEN commands and correctly sends an
  UNLISTEN when the last listen request for a relation is cancelled.
  (Note this means it will not work with pre-6.4 backends, but that
  was true already because it depends on the current libpq, which
  only speaks protocol 2.0.)

* Added -error option to pg_result so that there's some way to find
  out what you did wrong ;-)

* Miscellaneous cleanups of code comments and overenthusiastic #includes.

BTW, I bumped the package version number from 1.2 to 1.3.  Is this
premature?  Does someone run around and do that routinely before
each pgsql release?

prompt_for_password code that psql does.  We fixed psql a month or
two back to permit usernames and passwords longer than 8 characters.
I propagated the same fix into pg_dump.
