and make backend/libpq/pqcomm.c only try to lock the socket file when
the call exists.  Also, change open-RDONLY to open-WRONLY; at least
on my platform, you can't get a write lock on a file you didn't open
for writing.

These weren't really "man page"-ish anyway, and I've verified that
 all information in them has moved to the newer sources.

 Formerly did so only for those which clearly required it, but that
 would still miss things like reserved key words which also require it.
Implement the "-n" switch to revert the double quote behavior
 to put DQs only where there is more than lower-case, digits,
 and underscores.

    for against a just updated CVS tree. It contains

        Partial new rewrite system that handles subselects,  view
        aggregate  columns, insert into select from view, updates
        with set col = view-value and select rules restriction to
        view definition.

        Updates  for  rule/view  backparsing utility functions to
        handle subselects correct.


        New system views pg_tables and pg_indexes (where you  can
        see the complete index definition in the latter one).

        Enabling array references on query parameters.

        Bugfix for functional index.

        Little changes to system views pg_rules and pg_views.


    The rule system isn't a release-stopper any longer.

    But  another  stopper  is  that  I  don't  know if the latest
    changes to PL/pgSQL (not already in CVS) made it  compile  on
    AIX. Still wait for some response from Dave.

    parameters. With it applied a function like

    CREATE FUNCTION getname(oid8, int4) RETURNS name AS
        'SELECT typname FROM pg_type WHERE oid = $1[$2]'
        LANGUAGE 'sql';

    is possible. Mainly I need this to enable array references in
    expressions for PL/pgSQL. Complete regression test ran O.K.

The ident() function in src/backend/libpq/hba.c doesn't cope when
postmaster is contacted on an IP alias. This patch fixes it.

Here's the new diff for getting the NS32K assembly code into the
spin-locks.  Notice that it's now inline assembler in s_lock.h,
rather than seperate code in s_lock.c.  It also shrank a little
bit...  Just rip out the S_LOCK() define and insert the tas() inline
function.  Please let me know if there are any problems with it.

to a field that will get free'd).  Also make it robust in cases where
values contain Tcl special characters.

and what wasn't.  Also try to improve the comments so that doesn't happen
again.  Changed SIGPIPE handling to SIG_IGN so that if frontend quits,
we will finish out the current command and return to main loop before
quitting.  This seems much safer than a forced abort mid-command.

planner/optimizer/executor.  It isn't.
Besides, most of the removed code consists of comments about how
it's not right.

Make default S_LOCK macro more robust against syntax mistakes.
(I cleared these changes with David Gould a few days ago.)

Now it's a little less so.

fix some memory leaks in pg_select.
