automatically to compensate the lack of automatic
conversion functionality of PostgreSQL server.
For example if there's a numeric type binding
   1.2567 --> 1.2567::numeric.
I hope this change would enable the use of numeric
type in MS-Access etc.

Thanks Hiroki Kataoka for his checking my code.

relations.  It's not very bright, but at least it now knows that
A LEFT JOIN B must produce at least as many rows as are in A ...

compressed storage works perfectly well.  Might as well have a coherent
strategy for applying it, rather than the haphazard store-what-you-get
approach that was in the code before.  The strategy I've set up here is
to attempt compression of any compressible index value exceeding
BLCKSZ/16, or about 500 bytes by default.

the old ones were not small enough to ensure r-tree and gist indexes would
get picked when available.  These numbers are totally bogus anyway, but
in the absence of any real estimation technique, we'd like to select
indexes when available ...

   per recent discussion in pgsql-odbc. Now SELECT is
   a boundary but VACUUM isn't.
2) Put back the error handling behavior. When elog(ERROR)
   was detected the driver automatically issue "ABORT"
   if a transaction is in progress.
3) Driver version is 7.01.0003(Dave already set it but
   it was put back).

to ON and USING for specifying the join condition, not as an independent
kind of join semantics.

such as
    SELECT f1 FROM foo UNION SELECT ... ORDER BY upper(f1)
to draw
'ORDER BY on a UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT result must be on one of the result columns'
rather than the uninformative 'f1 not found' we were producing before.
Eventually this should actually work, but that looks much too hard to try
to implement in late beta...

specifies redundant UNIQUE conditions.

clause with an alias is a <subquery> and therefore hides table references
appearing within it, according to the spec.  This is the same as the
preliminary patch I posted to pgsql-patches yesterday, plus some really
grotty code in ruleutils.c to reverse-list a query tree with the correct
alias name depending on context.  I'd rather not have done that, but unless
we want to force another initdb for 7.1, there's no other way for now.

wasn't clear that the "boolean type" was actually called "boolean".  Add
tip about "casting" booleans using CASE.

Spell check whole file.

        - Fixed bug in LargeObject & BlobOutputStream where the stream's output
          was not flushed when either the stream or the blob were closed.
        - Fixed PreparedStatement.setBinaryStream() where it ignored the length

protocol. I have left in Tom's SOCK_get_next_byte() fix, and the new
win32.mak file addition.  I have also left in the 'X' connection close
fix.

* make .html the default extension
* allow use of CSS stylesheet ("stylesheet.css", not included)
* make <set> TOC two levels deep
* put time of creation into meta header
Print:
* make print output justified by default
* footnotes at bottom of each page
* allow TeX to hyphenate

        - More TestCases implemented. Refined the test suite api's.
        - Removed need for SimpleDateFormat in ResultSet.getDate() improving
          performance.
        - Rewrote ResultSet.getTime() so that it uses JDK api's better.

        - Added MiscTest to hold reported problems from users.
        - Fixed PGMoney.
        - JBuilder4/JDBCExplorer now works with Money fields. Patched Field &
          ResultSet (lots of methods) for this one. Also changed cash/money to
          return type DOUBLE not DECIMAL. This broke JBuilder as zero scale
          BigDecimal's can't have decimal places!
        - When a Statement is reused, the previous ResultSet is now closed.
        - Removed deprecated call in ResultSet.getTime()

        - Changed a couple of settings in DatabaseMetaData where 7.1 now
          supports those features
        - Implemented the DatabaseMetaData TestCase.

Wed Feb 07 18:06:00 GMT 2001 peter@retep.org.uk
        - Added comment to Connection.isClosed() explaining why we deviate from
          the JDBC2 specification.
        - Fixed bug where the Isolation Level is lost while in autocommit mode.
        - Fixed bug where several calls to getTransactionIsolationLevel()
          returned the first call's result.
