Remove references to modf() which is buggy on some platforms (Sparc/Linux).

Subject: [PATCHES] INSTALL changes

This patch modifies the INSTALL file.  The changes are:
  - SPARC/Linux-ELF was added to the list of supported platforms.
    The special notes for it at the bottom of the file were removed.
  - Changed "database server" to "RDBMS database server".
  - Modified step 6 so that when you restore your database the
    tables will be owned by the original owners instead of the
    postgresql superuser.
  - Modified step 19 on diagnosing the regression tests for the
    SPARC Linux platform with a beta release.
  - Other minor changes.

Subject: [PATCHES] pqcomprim.c patch

This is the patch by Robert Bruccoleri to fix the endian problem.
(Actually, it's the reverse of his patch.  He must have gotten the
order wrong.)

These are undocumented in the man pages though...should they be removed?

Fix up decoder field masks for timespan and reltime.

Move date and time field type labels to less than 32 to allow use as masks.

   fdleft = pg_nofile() - allocatedFiles - nfile;
looks more realistic, but too noisy -
   fdleft = pg_nofile() - allocatedFiles;

             * RelationFlushRelation () below will flush relation information
             * from the cache. We must call smgrclose to flush relation

            smgrclose(reln->rd_rel->relsmgr, reln);

 - it avoids memory leaks in SMGR & VFD.

RelationFlushRelation():
   there is no more call FileInvalidate(RelationGetSystemPort(relation));
   - invalid (FileInvalidate() expects File, not SMGR' fd)
   - unuseful anyway.

   mdunlink() and mdclose() (too !!!) now free MdfdVec for relation
   and add it to free list, so it may be re-used for another relation
   later.
2. Fix VFD-manager memory leak (found by Massimo ... and me):
   mdunlink() has to call FileUnlink() to free allocation for fileName
   and add the Vfd slot to the free list.

2. FreeFile() has to do nothing with nfile (# of files opened
   by VFD manager).

Subject: [PATCHES] DROP AGGREGATE gram.y typo...


Somehow I dropped a comma in the gram.y part (line 129) of my
patch for drop aggregate.  Here's a correct patch for gram.y.

PS. I hope I got the right comma, manually applied :) (scrappy)

Subject: [PATCHES] DROP AGGREGATE patch/fix.


Here's a patch that fixes the DROP AGGREGATE command to delete
the desired aggregate for a specific type.

Subject: [PATCHES] AIX make patch resubmitted.

Misc patches for AIX from Darren:

1)  New src/makefiles/Makefile.aix  This patch should only be
    applied if the following patch (4) is applied to backend/Makefile!
    Still looking into having configure determine the last line to do
    the shared link.  The 325 code will work for 41, so I put that in
    as the default.  Included a commented out 41 line for completeness.

*and*

4)  Patch the backend Makefile.  I've reviewed this patch with respect to the
    other ports that use MAKE_EXPORTS (svr4 and univel) as closely as I could
    and I don't see where it will break them.  If it does, please let me know
    and I'll rework it somehow.

Subject: [PATCHES] Re: [PORTS] AIX 6.1 fixes...

Here are the patches for the two things that wouldn't make it thru the AIX
compiler.  The geo_ops.c change is harmless I believe.  The nbtcompare.c patch
fixes me, but I don't know about any other ports.  Maybe wait on that one
until Vadim decides what to do about the unsigned vs signed chars varlena
issue.

relation->rd_att (relation' TupleDesc).

Because of
 *      resetpsort  - resets (frees) malloc'd memory for an aborted Xaction
 *
 *      Not implemented yet.

   all local buffers @ xact commit, so accordingly nextFreeLocalBuf
   is first local buffer now.
   It helps to avoid unnecessary local buffer allocations in LocalBufferAlloc()
   latter ("memmory leaks" in 'order by').
2. ResetLocalBufferPool() lost allocated local buffers:

   memset(LocalBufferDescriptors, 0, sizeof(BufferDesc) * NLocBuffer);

   (local buffers leak @ xact aborts).
