script for Mac OS X. I added calls to utilize the bundled apache
rotatelogs script in the DB startup for log rotation. Also modified
startup parameters file to allow using the "SystemStarter" utility to
start/stop/restart postgres with a rotating log file.

The script credits David Wheeler, 2002. I wrote him a message about
the changes an he suggested I post them here. I explain some of the
changes below.

Not sure how to submit the changes. I have 3 files, "PostgreSQL"
script, "StartupParameters.plist" file, "pg_startupscript.diff" file.
The diff file was run against the original "PostgreSQL" script file.
I'll try attaching them to this message. If they get filtered I can
resend if needed.

Thanks.

------------------------------------

1) Changed the "Provides" parameter in StartupParameters.plist to
"PostgreSQL" from "postgres database" simply for ease of typing. It
seems that the SystemStarter utility uses the "Provides" value if you
want to control the script. This way I did not have to enclose it in
quotes on commandline. The modified StartupParameters.plist is now an
XML document also.


2) For the startup script I added 2 user modifiable variables:

# do you want to rotate the log files, 1=true 0=false
ROTATELOGS=1

# logfile rotate in seconds
ROTATESEC="604800"

I also added a non modifiable variable:

# The apache log rotation utility
LOGUTIL="/usr/sbin/rotatelogs"

I modified the StartService and RestartService functions to execute
the new commands if the user wants log rotation.

strict, per discussion with Dennis Haney.
Also, rearrange the preceding tests to avoid redundancy.

I have changed the name of the new parse function to xml_valid and fixed
a reference to SortMem which meant that the code as supplied would work
against 7.3 and 7.4 but wouldn't work in CVS.

predicate of the form 'foo IS NOT NULL' is implied by a WHERE clause
that uses 'foo' in any strict operator or function.  Per suggestion
and preliminary implementation by John Siracusa; some further hacking
by moi.

someone to complain they don't have /dev/stdin.

have been able to significantly improve the contrib/xml XPath
integration code.

New features:

* XPath set-returning function allows multiple results from an several
XPath queries to be used as a virtual table.
* Using libxslt, XSLT transformations (with and without parameters) are
supported. (Caution: This support allows generic URL fetching from
within the backend as well).

I've removed the old code so that it is all libxml based. Rather than
attach as a patch, I've put the tar.gz (10k!) at
http://www.azuli.co.uk/pgxml-1.0.tar.gz
(all files in archive are xml/....).

I think this is worth replacing the contrib version with, even though
the function names have changed (though the same functionality is
there), because it includes a SRF and some SPI usage, in addition to
linking to an external library. And it isn't a big module! Obviously, I
understand that people might prefer to move it elsewhere, or might have
reservations about replacing an existing contrib module with an
incompatible one. I'm open to suggestions.

support for 'week' within the date_trunc function.

Within the patch I added a couple of test cases and associated target
output, and changed the documentation to add 'week' appropriately.

schema-safe.  Make it so, and improve the internal support for knowledge
of server version.

* Mostly, casting etc to remove compilation warnings in win32 only code.

* main.c: set _IONBF to stdout/stderr under win32 (under win32, _IOLBF
defaults to full buffering)

* pg_resetxlog/Makefile: ensures dirmod.o gets cleaned (got bitten by
this when, after "make clean"ing, switching compilation between Ming +
Cygwin)

this input will be rejected.

Also added a new error code for warnings about deprecated features,
and updated the regression tests.

object types, rather than by OID.  This should help ensure consistent
dump output from databases that are logically the same but have different
histories, per recent discussion about 'diffing' databases.  The patch
is bulky because of renaming of fields, but not very complicated.
Also, do some tweaking to cause BLOB restoration to be done in a better
order, and clean up pg_restore's textual output to exactly match pg_dump.
