Peter Eisentraut 9314141116 Add pg-config utility that stores some configuration parameters other
packages can use to configure their build.

E.g.,
$ pg-config --libdir
/usr/local/pgsql/lib

`pg-config --configure' stores the configure command line.

Thomas G. Lockhart a5da56d320 Fix typos and inconsistancies found by He Weiping
(aka Henry) <laser@zhangmai.com.cn>.
Fix new problems in insert.sgml and create_function.sgml which kept jade
 from completing.

Peter Eisentraut 996832caee Make the location of the Kerberos server key file run time configurable
(rather than compile time). For libpq, even when Kerberos support is
compiled in, the default user name should still fall back to geteuid()
if it can't be determined via the Kerberos system.

A couple of fixes for string type configuration parameters, now that there
is one.

Thomas G. Lockhart 2b6a35f7cd Fix several <ulink> tags which refer to e-mail addresses
but were missing the "mailto:" prefix.
Fix typo.
Thanks to Neil Conway <nconway@klamath.dyndns.org> for the heads-up.

Tom Lane e67ff6b670 fmgr interface mopup work. Use new DatumGetBool and BoolGetDatum
macros where appropriate (the code used to have several different ways
of doing that, including Int32, Int8, UInt8, ...).  Remove last few
references to float32 and float64 typedefs --- it's all float4/float8
now.  The typedefs themselves should probably stay in c.h for a release
or two, though, to avoid breaking user-written C functions.

Tom Lane 766fb7f707 Mop-up for removal of ':' and ';' operators ... like, say, actually
take 'em out of pg_operator.  Also remove from scan.l's set of legal
operator characters.  Update documentation.
2000-08-12 05:15:24 +00:00
Tom Lane 7090c3e858 Make debug_assertions default to ON, when compiled in at all, for
backwards compatibility with old behavior.

Tom Lane d2165a4a5d Fix incorrect example of CAST syntax (was missing required parentheses). 2000-08-07 19:53:27 +00:00
Tom Lane 9426047021 Clean up bogosities in use of random(3) and srandom(3) --- do not assume
that RAND_MAX applies to them, since it doesn't.  Instead add a
config.h parameter MAX_RANDOM_VALUE.  This is currently set at 2^31-1
but could be auto-configured if that ever proves necessary.  Also fix
some outright bugs like calling srand() where srandom() is appropriate.

Tom Lane d70d46fd60 PATH and POLYGON datatypes are now TOASTable. Associated functions
updated to new fmgr style.  Deleted hoary old functions for compatibility
with pre-6.1 representations of these datatypes.

Tom Lane d06ebdb8d3 Update aggregate-function docs for STDDEV, VARIANCE. 2000-07-17 03:52:28 +00:00
Tom Lane bec98a31c5 Revise aggregate functions per earlier discussions in pghackers.
There's now only one transition value and transition function.
NULL handling in aggregates is a lot cleaner.  Also, use Numeric
accumulators instead of integer accumulators for sum/avg on integer
datatypes --- this avoids overflow at the cost of being a little slower.
Implement VARIANCE() and STDDEV() aggregates in the standard backend.

Also, enable new LIKE selectivity estimators by default.  Unrelated
change, but as long as I had to force initdb anyway...
