Fix example columns in alter_table.out to use datetime and timespan
 as a substitute for oidint4 and oidname.

From: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>

We're carrying around a copy of install-sh in case the local system
has no install script.  It's wasted baggage, because configure doesn't
know it's there :-(.  (Apparently everyone who's used postgres lately
already had an install script somewhere in their path.  I happened to
try to run configure with a minimal PATH tonight, and it promptly
gave up for lack of an install program.)  Here's the patch.

sequence contrib directory removed, as already integrated into the main
backend...

From: Massimo Dal Zotto <dz@cs.unitn.it>

Here is a tar file the new directories, which substitute the old ones
in contrib. Please remove the old directories array, datetime, miscutil,
string and userlock before unpacking the tar file in contrib.

Note that as the modules are now installed in lib/modules I install all
my sql code in lib/sql. In my opinion also the other contributors should
follow these rules.

After some playing with gdb I found that in printtup() there is a non null
attribute with typeinfo->attrs[i]->atttypid = 0 (invalid oid). Unfortunately
attibutes with invalid type are neither printed nor marked as null, and this
explains why psql doesn't get all the expected data.

So I made this patch to printtup():

ODBC driver have found a bug in 6.3.2 pg_dump and have made patches.
I confirmed that the same bug still exists in the current source
tree. So I made up patches based on Kataoka's. Here are some
explanations.

o fmtId() returns pointer to a static memory in it. In the meantime
there is a line where is fmtId() called twice without saving the
first value returned by fmtId(). So second call to fmtId() will
break the first one.

o findTableByName() looks up a table by its name. if a table name
contanins upper letters or non ascii chars, fmtId() will returns
a name quoted in double quotes, which will not what findTableByName()
wants. The result is SEG fault.  -- Tatsuo Ishii t-ishii@sra.co.jp

This patch resolves some regression test failures caused by platform
dependencies.

was tested with Linux/GCC.  I still have some issues with with the
snprintf() function.

Here is a new patch for libpq, to make it work on Win32 again (since
the latest modifications broke it a little).

Please also add the file "libpq.rc" to the interfaces/libpq directory.
This will allow version-stamping of the generated DLL file, so that
automatic install programs (and interested users) can determine
the version of the file.  The file is currently set as "prerelease".
Before the release, somebody should change the line "FILEFLAGS
VS_FF_PRERELEASE" to "FILEFLAGS 0".  That information should probably
go into toos\RELEASE_CHANGES.

The patch is against the cvs as of ~ 1998-08-26 14:30 CEST.

anymore.  Fix for large objects.

From: Michael Meskes <meskes@online-club.de>

This one is against the current archive (so it contains the one I send the
other day). It should fix the AIX problems. Andreas, could you please try
it? Thanks.
