subprocesses; perhaps this will fix portability problem just noted by
Lockhart.  Also, move test for bad permissions of DataDir to a more
logical place.

bootstrap) check for a valid PG_VERSION file before looking at anything
else in the data directory.  This fixes confusing error report when
trying to start current sources in a pre-7.1 data directory.
Per trouble report from Rich Shepard 10/18/01.

Sun's compiler. May be it will be usefull for someone else?

SQL_RETRIEVE_DATA option is SQL_RD_OFF. This would
avoid a crash when scrolling Grid controls.

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION.

just after receipt of the startup packet.  Now, postmaster children
that are waiting for client authentication response will show as
'postgres: user database host authentication'.  Also, do an
init_ps_display for startup/shutdown/checkpoint subprocesses,
so that they are readily identifiable as well.  Fix an obscure race
condition that could lead to Assert failure in the postmaster ---
attempting to start a checkpoint process before any connections have
been received led to calling PostmasterRandom before setting random_seed.

authentication failed' and a 'send() failed: Broken pipe' message
on every connection from psql in password auth mode.  Problem is
that psql doesn't ask user for a password until it sees a password
challenge failure, and libpq just closes the connection unceremoniously
if it's challenged for a password when it hasn't got one to send.
Accordingly, EOF from the client after asking for a password is
normal behavior and should not result in postmaster log entries.

STATUS_xxx macros to reduce clutter.

the entered password would get echoed on some platforms, eg HPUX.
We have enough copies of this code that I'm thinking it ought to be
moved into libpq, but that's a task for another day.

 Modified the parser and the SET handlers to use full Node structures
 rather than simply a character string argument.
Implement INTERVAL() YEAR TO MONTH (etc) syntax per SQL99.
 Does not yet accept the goofy string format that goes along with, but
 this should be fairly straight forward to fix now as a bug or later
 as a feature.
Implement precision for the INTERVAL() type.
 Use the typmod mechanism for both of INTERVAL features.
Fix the INTERVAL syntax in the parser:
 opt_interval was in the wrong place.
INTERVAL is now a reserved word, otherwise we get reduce/reduce errors.
Implement an explicit date_part() function for TIMETZ.
 Should fix coersion problem with INTERVAL reported by Peter E.
Fix up some error messages for date/time types.
 Use all caps for type names within message.
Fix recently introduced side-effect bug disabling 'epoch' as a recognized
 field for date_part() etc. Reported by Peter E. (??)
Bump catalog version number.
Rename "microseconds" current transaction time field
 from ...Msec to ...Usec. Duh!
date/time regression tests updated for reference platform, but a few
 changes will be necessary for others.

clause being added to a particular restriction-clause list is redundant
with those already in the list.  This avoids useless work at runtime,
and (perhaps more importantly) keeps the selectivity estimation routines
from generating too-small estimates of numbers of output rows.
Also some minor improvements in OPTIMIZER_DEBUG displays.

view when using the aggregate function count() and function nextval
that returns an int8 value, but in python is represented like string:

>> db.query("select nextval('my_seq')").getresult()
[('2',)]

>> db.query("select count(*) from films").dictresult()
[{'count': '120'}]
