Made a copy of errors with the AC_TRY_RUN() macro...appears to work better
under FreeBSD for DBL_MIN check now...

Add a check for DBL_MIN problem...not sure if this is right...needs
testing...

is not |documented, here is the relevant patch for it

psql in Postgres 6.3.2.  Both of these problems were complained of
recently in pgsql-questions:

1. In the right circumstances, psql.c will fail to compile due to
trying
   to include a nonexistent <history.h>.  (Thread "Compile-time
   error" around 17 Apr 98.) 2. In other circumstances, psql will
compile but does not provide
   command history capability, even though the underlying readline
   library supports it.  (Various threads, most recently "query
   repetition in psql" around 29 Apr.)

solaris/spare shared libararies, new error message for postmaster
startup, and makefile cleanups.

compiling nbtsearch.c after configuring with --enable-cassert.
Patch below.

-- --------------------------------------------- Göran Thyni,

and allow CUSTOM_COPT to appear in compile AND LINK commands.

 (inside of #ifdef PARSEDEBUG blocks).

 broke a long time ago when some definitions changed.

Reintroduce fixes for unary minus parsing with leading spaces.

Check for and properly ignore FOREIGN KEY column constraints
 (already had fixed same for table constraints).
Define USER as synonym for CURRENT_USER per SQL92 specs
 (no longer allowed as bare column name, sorry).
Re-enable HAVING clause but no fixes elsewhere yet.
Other stuff from today's update of gram.y...

Check for and properly ignore FOREIGN KEY column constraints
 (already had fixed same for table constraints).

 (no longer allowed as bare column name, sorry).
Re-enable HAVING clause but no fixes elsewhere yet.
Make "char" type a synonum for "char(1)" (actually implemented as bpchar).
Compress/compact row-style subselect and operator definitions
 (cut out ~140 lines of code with no change in functionality).
Save string type if specified for DEFAULT clause handling.
Enough for now...

Reintroduce fixes for unary minus parsing with leading spaces.

Add #define's for remaining "builtin" types.

Add routines to allow sizing of varchar and bpchar into target columns.

Incorporate patches from Gautam for line/point intersection.

Fix up "ISO-style" timespan decoding and encoding.

Try to generalize the gzip/tar usage for more portability.

code that I had assumed was working had not been tested.  Naturally,
it was broken ...

1. Rewritten libpq to allow asynchronous clients.

2. Implemented client side of cancel protocol in library,
   and patched psql.c to send a cancel request upon SIGINT.  The
   backend doesn't notice it yet :-(

3. Implemented 'Z' protocol message addition and renaming of
   copy in/out start messages.  These are implemented conditionally,
   ie, the client protocol version is checked; so the code should
   still work with 1.0 clients.

4. Revised protocol and libpq sgml documents (don't have an SGML
   compiler, though, so there may be some markup glitches here).


What remains to be done:

1. Implement addition of atttypmod field to RowDescriptor messages.
   The client-side code is there but ifdef'd out.  I have no idea
   what to change on the backend side.  The field should be sent
   only if protocol >= 2.0, of course.

2. Implement backend response to cancel requests received as OOB
   messages.  (This prolly need not be conditional on protocol
   version; just do it if you get SIGURG.)

3. Update libpq.3.  (I'm hoping this can be generated mechanically
   from libpq.sgml... if not, will do it by hand.)  Is there any
   other doco to fix?

4. Update non-libpq interfaces as necessary.  I patched libpgtcl
   so that it would compile, but haven't tested it.  Dunno what
   needs to be done with the other interfaces.

Have at it!
