Removed Oracle transaction syntax to fix shift/reduce error.

tweak by Neil Conway.

Jurka.

(1) Replace while loop with the new forboth() construct in
parser/analyze.c

(2) Replace lcons() with lappend() in SearchCatCacheList(). Since these
now have the same performance, there is no reason to prefer lcons() in
this case, and using lappend() leads to cleaner code.

(3) Improve the name of the second parameter to for_each_cell()

from another pointer type. Per C89, this is unnecessary, and it is common
practice throughout the rest of the tree anyway.

update for beta3, and update Copyright date to 2004

and hopefully improve code clarity while at it.  One intentional
semantics change: a backslashed space will not be treated as removable
trailing whitespace, as the prior coding would do.  ISTM that if it
wouldn't be considered removable leading whitespace, it shouldn't be
stripped at the end either.

build in mingw. The MSVC build already did this, but it was not linked
into the mingw one.

This is not the same as the versioninfo patch that's in the queue.
Please apply this one before beta-3 if at all possible.

Magnus Hagander

it really hadn't, due to double output of previous command's response.
Fix prevents recursive entry to libpq routines.  Found by Jan Wieck.

setting is valid must ignore that state and permit the assignment anyway
when source is PGC_S_OVERRIDE.  Otherwise they may disallow a rollback
at transaction abort, which is The Wrong Thing.  Per example from
Michael Fuhr 12-Sep-04.

modify how unaligned memory accesses are dealt with. Document that this
is really what is going on, and merge the NOFIXADE and NOPRINTADE code
paths.

variant file to cover OS X 10.3's bizarre minus-zero behavior.

formerly used in execMain. Since that is no longer the case, this patch
renames ExecProcAppend() to ExecAppend() for the sake of consistency.

actually test this, but it couldn't be broken any worse than it was...)

not only indexes.  Alvaro Herrera, with some kibitzing by Tom Lane.

in open_client_SSL, surely we should do it everywhere.  Also make
message formatting conform to style guide.

I haven't mentioned any of
~/.postgresql/{root.crt,postgresql.crt,postresql.key} even though they
are checked for in the code, since they do not appear to be supported. I
base this on discussions in pgsql-hackers.

Dominic Mitchell

stands a chance of looking it up.  "Unrecognised error" is always
disheartening.  :-)

Dominic Mitchell

Given that PostgreSQL will output a message complaining about it's
absence if you're using SSL mode, I feel it's important that it gets a
mention in the documentation at some point.
