functions that take pass-by-value datatypes.  Should be ready for
port testing ...

compatiblity with old rules.

prepared for dirtribution (it needs a little changes). I can change and work
on this, but I need motivation :-)

And Peter, I know and I agree that standard PG tree is not good space for
all interfaces and for all tools based on PG, but LO is PG feature and we
haven't backup tool for LO.

quote-stripping, and acl-checking tasks for these functions from the
parser, and do them at function execution time instead.  This fixes
the failure of pg_dump to produce correct output for nextval(Foo)
used in a rule, and also eliminates the restriction that the argument
of these functions must be a parse-time constant.

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?
