messages more uniform and internationalizable: the global array
aclcheck_error_strings[] is gone in favor of a subroutine
aclcheck_error().  Partial implementation of namespace-related
permission checks --- not all done yet.

divide backend/commands by object type, let's try to pay at least
minimal attention to respecting that structure, eh?  Also reorder the
contents of tablecmds.c; it seems odd to me to put ALTER commands before
creation/deletion commands.

Enable multibyte support by default. Note that this is the first cut,
and I'm gloing to remove #ifdef MULTIBYTE and others step by step...

Update has_table_privilege functions to cope with schema-qualified
names in the same way as nextval() and others.

per pghackers discussion.  Add some more typsanity tests, and clean
up some problems exposed thereby (broken or missing array types for
some built-in types).  Also, clean up loose ends from unknownin/out
patch.

1) Wrong translations of embedded escape sequences inside outer join escape
sequences.
2) Wrong translation of parameter markers inside outer joins and function
escape sequences.
3) Bad concatenation of date, time, timestamp constants with next word in

mysteriously disappearing.

ie.  \d+ will only ever show the comment for the current database --
which is appropriate since it can only pull comments from the current
database.

Won't break pgadmin functionality as it enforces this behaviour already.


I didn't find any regression tests for COMMENT.

left a stub for a future "ALTER RULE RENAME" but did not write that one
yet. Bruce, if you want to add my name for for that I'll take it and do
it later.

default values using ALTER TABLE, on both views and tables.

(You'll need to apply the default-values-for-views patch that I sent
to -patches earlier for the regression tests to pass.)

postgres command line utilites e.g. supports -U, -p, -h, -?, -v, password
prompt and has a "test mode". In test mode, no large objects are removed,
just reported.

unused function arguments, and makes the TableInfo struct slightly
smaller by removing an unnecessary member.

Neil Conway <neilconway@rogers.com>

Apparently, you need to make two calls to appendPQExpBuffer() to
use fmtId() twice, because it uses a static buffer (thanks for
spotting this Tom).

Another revision of the patch is attached.

Neil Conway <neilconway@rogers.com>

The attached patch allows views to have default values. You can't
specify a default value within a CREATE VIEW statement, it must be
done using ALTER TABLE ... ALTER COLUMN ... SET DEFAULT after the
view has already been created. Most of the hard work was done by
Tom Lane, I just patched pg_dump and updated the documentation.

Neil Conway <neilconway@rogers.com>

Appears I forgot to update the docs earlier.

Rod Taylor

Please note I have no way to test this.  Docbook doesn't like my
cygwin setup.

objections.

Major changes:
   - removed cursor wrap around input sql to allow for remote
     execution of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE
   - dblink now returns a resource id instead of a real pointer
   - added several utility functions

I'm still hoping to add explicit cursor open/fetch/close support before
7.3 is released, but I need a bit more time on that.

On a somewhat unrelated topic, I never got any feedback on the
unknownin/out patch and the mb_substring patch. Is there anything else I
need to do to get those applied?

Joe Conway

work on all win9x machines, so i made it go thru a l ookup table
instead, using the DLL as last resort.  I also moved this out of the
fe-misc.c file because of the size of the lookup ta ble. Who knows, we
might add more other win32 specific code there in the future.

I also fixed a small typo in the pg_config.h.win32 that made the
compiler compla in about the gnu snprintf declaration.

I tried to make this patch with psql coding style. I've successfully
tested this on win2k and win98 and it works fine (i.e. the mes sage
shows on win98 too, it didn't with the old implementation).

BAD:  INSERT INTO tab (col1, col2) VALUES ('val1');
GOOD: INSERT INTO tab (col1, col2) VALUES ('val1', 'val2');

Regress tests against DEFAULT and normal values as they're managed
slightly different.
