where else to mail it. I am the maintainer of unixODBC, and we have a
set of code in our project that started life as the Postgres windows
ODBC driver, which has been ported back to unix. Anyway I have just
fixed a memory leak in the driver, and I cant see any mention of the fix
being done in the main Postgres code, so I thougth I would let you know.

Its in the statement.c module, after the COMMIT statement has been
executed in SC_Execute, the code was

        this is an old patch which I have already submitted and never seen
        in the sources. It corrects the datatype oids used in some iterator
        functions. This bug has been reported to me by many other people.

contrib-datetime.patch

        some code contributed by Reiner Dassing <dassing@wettzell.ifag.de>

contrib-makefiles.patch

        fixes all my contrib makefiles which don't work with some compilers,
        as reported to me by another user.

contrib-miscutil.patch

        an old patch for one of my old contribs.

contrib-string.patch

        a small change to the c-like text output functions. Now the '{'
        is escaped only at the beginning of the string to distinguish it
        from arrays, and the '}' is no more escaped.

elog-lineno.patch

        adds the current lineno of CopyFrom to elog messages. This is very
        useful when you load a 1 million tuples table from an external file
        and there is a bad value somehere. Currently you get an error message
        but you can't know where is the bad data. The patch uses a variable
        which was declared static in copy.c. The variable is now exported
        and initialized to 0. It is always cleared at the end of the copy
        or at the first elog message or when the copy is canceled.
        I know this is very ugly but I can't find any better way of knowing
        where the copy fails and I have this problem quite often.

plperl-makefile.patch

        fixes a typo in a makefile, but the error must be elsewhere because
        it is a file generated automatically. Please have a look.

tprintf-timestamp.patch

        restores the original 2-digit year format, assuming that the two
        century digits don't carry much information and that '000202' is
        easier to read than 20000202. Being only a log file it shouldn't
        break anything.

Please apply the patches before the next scheduled code freeze.

I also noticed that some of the contribs don't compile correcly. Should we
ask people to fix their code or rename their makefiles so that they are
ignored by the top makefile?

    a switch statement that has an empty default label.  A label of a
    switch statement must be followed by a statement (or a label which
    is followed by a statement (or a label which ...)).

3.  Files include stringinfo.h failed to compile.  The macro,
    'appendStringInfoCharMacro' is implemented with a '?:' operation
    that returns a void expression for the true part and a char expresion
    for the false part.  Both the true and false parts of the '?:' oper-
    ator must return the same type.

Changed EXIT_ON_ERROR to ON_ERROR_STOP in psql

directory.

I think this patch to the docs should be what is needed.

am including a patch to get it compile.

changes to psql:
- added less as default pager when compiling on Cygwin
- need to declare "filename_completion_function" because it is not exported
from readline -> added to include/port/win.h

changes to pg_id:
- include of <getopt.h>
- add .exe when installing

I think there is a problem with calling the regress tests on WinNT - it
should be called with PORTNAME not HOST as the parameter to regress.sh or
the check  when to add "-h localhost" to psql has to be changed. Now it is
checked against the PORTNAME.

The results of the regress tests were OK with expected failures ;-)

and initdb crashs (I set pglib path to PG 6.5.3 directory instead to
7.0 and initdb take this BKI old templates ... (initdb not check
BKI version and BKI files not has any version comments (TODO?))

 This patch add to the initdb --show option which show setting of all
initdb's values. It spare developers time if in setting is bug.

 The PostgreSQL's to_char() is very compatible with Oracle's to_char
 now. I hope that to_char's 3000 rows of source is without bugs, but
 will good if anyone test it, for me it works very well :-)

Fixed libpq printing functions

fields in JoinPaths --- turns out that we do need that after all :-(.
Also, rearrange planner so that only one RelOptInfo is created for a
particular set of joined base relations, no matter how many different
subsets of relations it can be created from.  This saves memory and
processing time compared to the old method of making a bunch of RelOptInfos
and then removing the duplicates.  Clean up the jointree iteration logic;
not sure if it's better, but I sure find it more readable and plausible
now, particularly for the case of 'bushy plans'.

Minor fix

regression tests so I prepared a set of expected
files to make things look OK.

There's also a file to account for minor variations
in the geopmetry output and a resultmap patch to
pull them all together.

With these changes PostgreSQL, from CVS, builds and
regression tests (runcheck) cleanly.

nonoverlap_sets() and is_subset() to list.c, where they should have lived
to begin with, and rename to nonoverlap_setsi and is_subseti since they
only work on integer lists.

fix suggested by Keith Parks.

lnext, to eliminate O(N^2) behavior with lots of indexquals.

extracting from an AND subclause just those opclauses that are relevant
for a particular index.  For example, we can now consider using an index
on x to process WHERE (x = 1 AND y = 2) OR (x = 2 AND y = 4) OR ...

it seems more suitable for the naming convention in libpq.

New function PQsetClientEncoding added. It makes possible to change
the client encoding on the fly without setting PGCLIENTENCODING.
