Interfaced a lot of the custom tests to the config.cache, in the process
made them separate macros and grouped them out into files. Made naming
adjustments.

Removed a couple of useless/unused configure tests.

Disabled C++ by default. C++ is no more special than Perl, Python, and Tcl.
And it breaks equally often. :(

that now functions as a wrapper around the MakeMaker stuff. It might
even behave sensically when we have separate build dirs. Same for plperl,
which of course still doesn't work very well. Made sure that plperl
respects the choice of --libdir.

Added --with-python to automatically build and install the Python interface.
Works similarly to the Perl5 stuff.

Moved the burden of the distclean targets lower down into the source tree.
Eventually, each make file should have its own.

Added automatic remaking of makefiles and configure. Currently only for the
top-level because of a bug(?) in Autoconf. Use GNU `missing' to work around
missing autoconf and aclocal. Start factoring out macros into their own
config/*.m4 files to increase readability and organization.

really worked.  Until now.

fflush(stderr)'s for good luck.

here bother to run autoconf, or pay attention when it complains?
To say nothing of actually committing the configure that goes with the
configure.in.

absolute.  It also makes it more compliant with the interface
specification in Sun's documentation;

1. absolute(0) should throw an exception.
2. absolute(>num-records) should set the current row to after the last
record in addition to returning false.
3. absolute(<num-records) should set the current row to before the first
record in addition to returning false.

These operations in the existing code just return false and don't change
current_row.

These changes required a minor change to relative(int) since it calls
absolute(int)

The attached patch is against the cvs repository tree as of this morning.

Also, who is in charge of maintaining the jdbc driver?  I'm working on
getArray for the jdbc2 driver, but it's going to require three more
classes to be added to the driver, and thus three more source files
in the repository.  Is there someone I can contact directly to ask about
this?

I have made the couple of mods required to make the odbc driver with
postgres build and use unixODBC (http://www.unixodbc.org)

This patch was applied against the postgresql-7.0beta1 build

Any problems let me know.

more restriction for fretful users. The current PG allow define only
NO-CREATE-DB and NO-CREATE-USER restriction, but for some users I need
NO-CREATE-TABLE and NO-LOCK-TABLE.

This patch add to current code NOCREATETABLE and NOLOCKTABLE feature:

CREATE USER username
    [ WITH
     [ SYSID uid ]
     [ PASSWORD 'password' ] ]
    [ CREATEDB   | NOCREATEDB ] [ CREATEUSER | NOCREATEUSER ]
->  [ CREATETABLE | NOCREATETABLE ] [ LOCKTABLE | NOLOCKTABLE ]
    ...etc.

 If CREATETABLE or LOCKTABLE is not specific in CREATE USER command,
as default is set CREATETABLE or LOCKTABLE (true).

 A user with NOCREATETABLE restriction can't call CREATE TABLE or
SELECT INTO commands, only create temp table is allow for him.

     pg_dump -o -u some_db >dump_file

works.

to_char.  I don't know about the rest of the world, but the "standard" in
Australia is the following:

        1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th - 9th
        10th - 19th
        21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th - 29th (similarly for 30s - 90s)
        110th - 119th (and for all "teens")
        121st, 122nd, 123rd, 124th - 129th

I think you see the trend.  The current code works fine except that it
produces:

        111st, 112nd, 113rd, 114th - 119th
        211st, 212nd, 213rd, 214th - 219th ... and so on.

Without knowing anything about what's supported (and what isn't) in the usual
I18N libraries, should this type of behaviour be defined within the locales?

warnings).

we'd better have a Makefile here to prevent the mistake of using
vannilla make instead of gmake.  (But let's leave src/Makefile where
it is, too.)

It addresses three issues:

1. The problem with ResultSet's interface specifying 1-based indexing was
not quite fixed in 7.0.2.  absolute would stop the user form moving to the
first record (record 0 internally).

2. Absolute did not set current_row

3. For field.mod=-1, GetObject would try to return numeric values with a
precision of around 65000.  Now GetObject detects when field.mod==-1, and
passes that as the scale to getBigDecimal.  getBigDecimal detects when a
-1 is passed and simply does not scale the value returned.  You still get
the correct value back, it simply does not tweak the precision.

I'm working off of a source tree I just checked out from the
repository.  The diff is based on what was in the repository about ten
minutes ago.
