that depend it, as suggested by wrstuden. The reason is so that older
binary packages which were linked against an a.out shared lib won't have
their package dependencies satisfied by the latest package, which has no
shared libraries. There's no help for old ELF packages, unfortunately.

0.7 - Tcl_Obj's support (first trial); now NUL-Bytes are allowed; strings
need not be terminated in the database (the 0.6-version would store
the terminating NUL's in keys as well as in data and RELIED on it!).
Now DB'S generated by other Programs (cross-checked with php3!) can
be read! (JG)
0.8 - Move to libtool/automake/autoconf and generate rpms for RedHat 6.2 (JE)
Tested with tcl8.3

notes:
perl-ldap 0.19 June 8 2000
============================
* Fixed bug which caused 2nd and subsequent binds to be anonymous.
* Fixed bug in moddn.
* Fix bug which caused a call to ->pop_entry or ->shift_entry
to hang forever.

the non-existant Convert::ASN
* Net::LDAP::Filter will now catch the case of unmatched
()'s and return an error
* as_struct, which was broken in the changeover to Convert::ASN1,
now works again.
KNOWN PROBLEMS
--------------
Test t/02filter.t fails with perl 5.6.0 compiled with threads enabled
This is due to a bug in 5.6.0 when compiled with threads, see
http://bugs.perl.org/perlbug.cgi?req=tidmids&tidmids=20000409.003&range=32323&format=h

* Various bug fixes, see ChangeLog
perl-ldap 0.16 April 27 2000
============================
* This is the first release which uses Convert::ASN1 instead of

Thu May 04 11:38:00 BST 2000 petermount@it.maidstone.gov.uk
- Corrected incorrect date in CHANGELOG
- Fixed the ImageViewer example
Wed May 03 16:47:00 BST 2000 petermount@it.maidstone.gov.uk
- Fixed the Makefile so that postgresql.jar is built everytime
the jdbc1 or jdbc2 rules are called.
- Fixed the threadsafe example. It had problems with autocommit
Wed May 03 14:32:00 BST 2000 petermount@it.maidstone.gov.uk
- Rewrote the README file (the old one was 18 months old!)
- Added @deprecated tags to org.postgresql.jdbc2.ResultSet
to clear some warnings issued during compilation.
Wed Apr 12 22:14:00 BST 2000 peter@retep.org.uk
- Implemented the JDBC2 Blob interface, and ResultSet.getBlob().
Wed Apr 12 20:20:00 BST 2000 peter@retep.org.uk
- Fixed bug in ResultSet.absolute(). Negative rows are now supported.
- Implemented ResultSet.relative(), afterLast().
Tue Feb 1 21:40:00 GMT 2000 peter@retep.org.uk
- Finally imported the contributed javax extensions by Assaf Arkin
arkin@exoffice.com
Mon Jan 24 21:00:00 GMT 2000 peter@retep.org.uk
- Finally introduced the 7.0 additions to the core CVS repository.
- All source files are now under the org.postgresql package (previously
they were under postgresql). The package lines now changed
accordingly.
- The Makefile was rewritten so it should now work on machines that
can't handle the $( ) syntax.
- Dutch translation by Arnout Kuiper (ajkuiper@wxs.nl)
Mon Sep 13 23:56:00 BST 1999 peter@retep.org.uk
- PG_Stream.SendChar() optimised, increased default buffer size of
output stream to 8k, and introduced an 8k buffer on the input stream
Sverre H Huseby <sverrehu@online.no>
- Added a finalize() method to Connection class in both drivers so that
the connection to the backend is really closed.
- Due to many JVM's not returning a meaningful value for java.version
the decision for building the JDBC1.2 or JDBC2 driver is now a
compile time option.
- Replaced $$(cmd...) with `cmd...` in the Makefile. This should allow
the driver to compile when using shells other than Bash.
Thu Sep 9 01:18:39 MEST 1999 jens@jens.de
- fixed bug in handling of DECIMAL type
Wed Aug 4 00:25:18 CEST 1999 jens@jens.de

Mon Aug 2 03:29:35 CEST 1999 jens@jens.de
- fixed bug in DatabaseMetaData.getPrimaryKeys()
Sun Aug 1 18:05:42 CEST 1999 jens@jens.de
- added support for getTransactionIsolation and setTransactionIsolation
Add a new USE_LIBTOOL definition that uses the libtool package instead of
pkglibtool which is now considered outdated.
USE_PKGLIBTOOL is available for backwards compatibility with old packages
but is deprecated for new packages.
A HUGE number of bug/performance fixes and minor enhancements.
Foreign Keys
Foreign keys are now implemented, with the exception of PARTIAL
MATCH foreign keys. Many users have been asking for this
feature, and we are pleased to offer it.
Optimizer Overhaul
Continuing on work started a year ago, the optimizer has been
overhauled, allowing improved query execution and better
performance with less memory usage.
Updated psql
psql, our interactive terminal monitor, has been updated with a
variety of new features. See the psql manual page for details.
Upcoming Features
In 7.1 or 7.2, we plan to have outer joins, storage for very
long rows, and a write-ahead logging system.
A dump/restore using pg_dump is required for those wishing to migrate
data from any previous release. For those upgrading from 6.5.*, you
can use pg_upgrade to upgrade to this release.
Sqsh (pronounced skwish) is short for SQshelL (pronounced s-q-shell), it
is intended as a replacement for the venerable 'isql' program supplied
by Sybase. It came about due to years of frustration of trying to do
real work with a program that was never meant to perform real work.
Sqsh is much more than a nice prompt, it is intended to provide much of
the functionality provided by a good shell, such as variables,
redirection, pipes, back-grounding, job control, history, command
completion, and dynamic configuration. Also, as a by-product of the
design, it is remarkably easy to extend and add functionality.
FreeTDS is a free (open source, LGPL-licensed) implementation of
Sybase's db-lib, ct-lib, and ODBC libraries. Currently, dblib and ctlib
are most mature. Both of these libraries have several programs know to
compile and run against them. ODBC is just a roughed in skeleton, and
not useful for real work.
FreeTDS will run at protocol versions 4.2, 4.6, or 5.0 and thus can
access both Sybase and Microsoft SQL-Servers. Experimental support for
TDS 7.0 (the version used by MS SQL Server 7.0) is now included.

Updated mailing list address from fugue.com to isc.org.
* binaries which are not JVM dependent go in ${PREFIX}/bin
* jar/zip/etc files for use by java programs go in
${PREFIX}/lib/java
* examples for java packages go in ${PREFIX}/share/examples/java
* documentation for java packages go in ${PREFIX}/share/doc/java
JVMs go in their own directories, right now ${PREFIX}/{java,kaffe}, which
is necessary so that multiple JVMs can be installed concurrently, and so
that the miriad packages which count on ${JAVA_HOME} pointing to a JVM
install will DTRT.
Most java packages already use something similar or can be adapted easily.
Java packages such as Jakarta with large amounts of private java will need
to be addressed separately.
From the change log:
1.7, 5-Jan-00
- NEW: dbcolize now detects and rejects lines that contain embedded
copies of the field separator
- NEW: configure tries harder to prevent people from improperly
configuring/installing jdb
- NEW: tcpdump_to_db converter (incomplete)
- NEW: tabdelim_to_db converter: from spreadsheet tab-delimited files to db
- BUG FIX: dbjoin used to produce incorrect output if there
were extra, unmatched values in the 2nd table.
- BUG FIX: the sample commands in the usage strings
now all should explicitly include the source of data
(typically from "cat foo.jdb |").
- DOCUMENTATION BUG FIX: dbcolmovingstats had incorrect sample output.
1.6, 24-May-99
- NEW: dbsort, dbstats, dbmultistats now run in constant memory
(using tmp files if necessary)
- NEW: dbcolmovingstats does moving means over a series of data
- NEW: dbcol has a -v option to get all columns except those listed
- NEW: dbmultistats does quartitles and medians
- NEW: dbstripextraheaders now also cleans up bogus comments
before the fist header
- BUG FIX: dbcolneaten works better with double-space-separated data
translations.
Depend on tk-postgresql instead of postgresql and fix location of pgtksh
to make this work again (after the restructuring of our postgres package
layout).
unlibtoolized. Things now install into ${PREFIX} instead of
${PREFIX}/${PGSQL_USER} to match hier(7) expectations. The Tcl and Tk
interfaces are now split out into separate packages.
This closes the following PRs: 7384, 8747, 8789, 9272, 9461.
Changes:
- better SQL quoting
Changes for py-mysqldb 0.1.3 that I forgot to note:
- Fixes a coredump at exit under some conditions
- Improved backwards compatability with MySQLmodule.
- Compatibility with MySQL 3.22
- Compliance with Python database API version 2.0
- Thread-safety
- Thread-friendliness (threads will not block each other)
Split PGSQL_USE_TCL into PGSQL_USE_TCL and PGSQL_USE_TK so that postgres
can be built with tcl support on a machine without tk (such as a machine
without X installed...)
for each of the continuation lines, rather than using backslashes to
continue a single, long definition. This makes it much easier to spot
pre-requisite packages and other dependencies.
This includes a security fix for the remote password checking protocol.
Other wise it's just the regular bunch of bugfixes. See appendix D of
the manual.
oraedit is capable of editing functions, procedure,
package bodies and specification, type body and specifications
as well as views stored in Oracle. The only thing required is
working sqlplus client or working rsh/ssh connection
to a computer with one (and Python, of course).
Documentation is currently not present, you have to figure out
usage yourself ATM, sorry.
This shares a distfile and a checksum file with the postgresql package. It uses
a different workaround for the postgres jdbc Makefile than in that package's
patch-an, but I am leaving that patch there for documentation purposes. (That way
`cd pkgsrcs/databases/postgresql ; make patch' DTRT for people looking at the
sources).
doesn't use it. Later tonight or tomorrow morning, I will commit a jdbc-postgresql
package which will share DISTFILE and patch goo with this package.
All this may eventually be replaced if the client stuff is factored out of the
postgresql package, but that's not me.
There are a bunch of bug fixes to the server. For a complete list see
the documentation.
Also, get rid of USE_GMAKE. The normal make works just fine.
Delete a whole bunch of patches that have been integrated into the
distribution.
Update the mit-pthreads patches to use _C_LABEL where appropriate so that
mit-pthreads works on ELF and a.out for the affected platforms.

package was originally submitted by D'Arcy J.M. Cain, but with major
overhauling by me.
Closes PR#7865 and relevant part of PR#8299.
Major changes from version 6.4.2:
Multi-version concurrency control(MVCC)
This removes our old table-level locking, and replaces it with a
locking system that is superior to most commercial database
systems. In a traditional system, each row that is modified is
locked until committed, preventing reads by other users. MVCC
uses the natural multi-version nature of PostgreSQL to allow
readers to continue reading consistent data during writer
activity. Writers continue to use the compact pg_log transaction
system. This is all performed without having to allocate a lock
for every row like traditional database systems. So, basically,
we no longer are restricted by simple table-level locking; we
have something better than row-level locking.
Hot backups from pg_dump
pg_dump takes advantage of the new MVCC features to give a
consistant database dump/backup while the database stays online
and available for queries.
Numeric data type
We now have a true numeric data type, with user-specified
precision.
Temporary tables
Temporary tables are guaranteed to have unique names within a
database session, and are destroyed on session exit.
New SQL features
We now have CASE, INTERSECT, and EXCEPT statement support. We
have new LIMIT/OFFSET, SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL, SELECT
... FOR UPDATE, and an improved LOCK TABLE command.
Speedups
We continue to speed up PostgreSQL, thanks to the variety of
talents within our team. We have sped up memory allocation,
optimization, table joins, and row transfer routines.
Ports
We continue to expand our port list, this time including
WinNT/ix86 and NetBSD/arm32.
Interfaces
Most interfaces have new versions, and existing functionality
has been improved.
Documentation
New and updated material is present throughout the
documentation. New FAQs have been contributed for SGI and AIX
platforms. The Tutorial has introductory information on SQL from
Stefan Simkovics. For the User's Guide, there are reference pages
covering the postmaster and more utility programs, and a new
appendix contains details on date/time behavior. The
Administrator's Guide has a new chapter on troubleshooting from
Tom Lane. And the Programmer's Guide has a description of query
processing, also from Stefan, and details on obtaining the
Postgres source tree via anonymous CVS and CVSup.
package (pointed out by David Brownlee). We also need to remove -lwrap
from the tools directory libraries - hence the post-configure target to
make sure SLAPD_LIBS is empty in servers/slapd/tools/Makefile.
Quick guide for compiling packages:
- set KERBEROS=4 or KERBEROS=5 in /etc/mk.conf
Quick guide for configuring Kerberos support in a package Makefile:
- test for KERBEROS value and enable the appropriate version with
CONFIGURE_ARGS or other means and set USE_KERBEROS=yes
- make sure to disable Kerberos support otherwise (especially if
using configure, which might automatically detect it)
- BUILD_DEFS and RESTRICTED are set automatically in bsd.pkg.mk
when USE_KERBEROS=yes is set
Notable changes are:
* corrected some left-over bugs from the 1.0 -> 1.2 transition
* finished list display for PostgreSQL
* made it compile with Gtk+ 1.2.x
