- Untested prevention of conversion of non-btree indexes unique

This is a bug in python interface module,
postgresql-7.3.3/src/interfaces/python/pg.py.

_quote() function fails due to integer overflow if input d is larger
than max integer.

In the case where the column type is "BIGINT", the input d may very well
be larger than max integer while its type, t, is labeled 'int'.
The conversion on line 19, return "%d" % int(d), will fail due to
"OverflowError: long int too large to convert to int".



Please describe a way to repeat the problem.   Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

[1] create a table with a column type 'BIGINT'.
[2] use pg.DB.insert() to insert a value that is larger than max integer

If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Just changing the conversion at line 19 of pg.py to long(d) instead of
int(d) should fix it. The following is a patch:

Thanks for the confirmation.  Here's a patch which also contains some
more noncritical changes to tqual.c:
 .  make code more readable by introducing local variables for xvac
 .  no longer two separate branches for aborted and crashed.
    The actions were the same in all cases.

identifier, while some areas do not.

The attached converts be below to "name":
conversion_name
index_name


The below have an existing, initdb supplied, entity named "name".  As
such, it could be confusing for the reader to see that identifier used
in the example.

restructures the deferred trigger queue.  The fundamental change is to
put all the static variables to hold the deferred triggers in a single
structure.

Nice catch.

There was a bug in the original metaphone algorithm from CPAN. Patch
attached (while I was at it I updated my email address, changed the
copyright to PGDG, and removed an unnecessary palloc). Here's how it
looks now:

regression=# select metaphone(a,4) from (select 'A A COMEAUX
MEMORIAL'::varchar AS a) a;
   metaphone
-----------
   AKMK
(1 row)

regression=# select metaphone(a,5) from (select 'A A COMEAUX
MEMORIAL'::varchar AS a) a;
   metaphone
-----------
   AKMKS
(1 row)

        Regression tests for IPv6 operations added.

        Documentation updated to document IPv6 bits.

        Stop treating IPv4 as an "unsigned int" and IPv6 as an array of
        characters.  Instead, always use the array of characters so we
        can have one function fits all.  This makes bitncmp(), addressOK(),
        and several other functions "just work" on both address families.

        add family() function which returns integer 4 or 6 for IPv4 or
        IPv6.  (See examples below)  Note that to add this new function
        you will need to dump/initdb/reload or find the correct magic
        to add the function to the postgresql function catalogs.

        IPv4 addresses always sort before IPv6.

        On disk we use AF_INET for IPv4, and AF_INET+1 for IPv6 addresses.
        This prevents the need for a dump and reload, but lets IPv6 parsing
        work on machines without AF_INET6.

        To select all IPv4 addresses from a table:

                select * from foo where family(addr) = 4 ...

        Order by and other bits should all work.

Also handle __ss_family as a synonym for ss_family.
