CXXFLAGS, and LDFLAGS by the buildlink.mk files so remove the extra
definitions to add them from the package Makefiles. As advised by the
bsd.buildlink.mk file, also ensure that the buildlink.mk files are
included prior to defining any package-specific CFLAGS/LDFLAGS to ensure
that the buildlink directories are at the head of the compiler search
paths.

to 7.1.2 or to depend on postgresql-libs-7.1.2. Changes from version 7.1.1:
Fix PL/PgSQL SELECTs when returning no rows
Fix for psql backslash core dump
Referential integrity permission fix
Optimizer fixes
pg_dump cleanups
Use BUILDLINK_INCDIR, BUILDLINK_LIBDIR for locations of linked headers
and libraries. Create a variable BUILDLINK_TARGETS whose value is the
list of build-link targets to execute.

with postgresql as a meta-package. Major changes from version 7.1.1
include:
Write-ahead Log (WAL) - To maintain database consistency in
case of an operating system crash, previous releases of PostgreSQL
have forced all data modifications to disk before each transaction
commit. With WAL, only one log file must be flushed to disk, greatly
improving performance. If you have been using -F in previous releases
to disable disk flushes, you may want to consider discontinuing its
use.
TOAST - Previous releases had a compiled-in row length limit,
typically 8 - 32 kB. This limit made storage of long text fields
difficult. With TOAST, long rows of any length can be stored with
good performance.
Outer Joins - We now support outer joins. The UNION/NOT IN
workaround for outer joins is no longer required. We use the SQL92
outer join syntax.
Function Manager - The previous C function manager did not
handle NULLs properly, nor did it support 64-bit CPU's (Alpha). The
new function manager does. You can continue using your old custom
functions, but you may want to rewrite them in the future to use the
new function manager call interface.
Complex Queries - A large number of complex queries that were
unsupported in previous releases now work. Many combinations of
views, aggregates, UNION, LIMIT, cursors, subqueries, and inherited
tables now work properly. Inherited tables are now accessed by
default. Subqueries in FROM are now supported.
Migration to 7.1.1
A dump/restore using pg_dump is required for those wishing to migrate
data from any previous release.
first component is now a package name+version/pattern, no more
executable/patchname/whatnot.
While there, introduce BUILD_USES_MSGFMT as shorthand to pull in
devel/gettext unless /usr/bin/msgfmt exists (i.e. on post-1.5 -current).
Patch by Alistair Crooks <agc@netbsd.org>
Convert most MESSAGE files to new syntax (${VARIABLE} gets replaced,
not @VARIABLE@, nor @@VARIABLE@@).
By default, substitutions are done for LOCALBASE, PKGNAME, PREFIX,
X11BASE, X11PREFIX; additional patterns can be added via MESSAGE_SUBST.
Clean up some packages while I'm there; add RCS tags to most MESSAGEs.
Remove some uninteresting MESSAGEs.
out of date - it was based on a.out OBJECT_FMT, and added entries in the
generated PLISTs to reflect the symlinks that ELF packages uses. It also
tried to be clever, and removed and recreated any symbolic links that were
created, which has resulted in some fun, especially with packages which
use dlopen(3) to load modules. Some recent changes to our ld.so to bring
it more into line with other Operating Systems also exposed some cracks.
+ Modify bsd.pkg.mk and its shared object handling, so that PLISTs now contain
the ELF symlinks.
+ Don't mess about with file system entries when handling shared objects in
bsd.pkg.mk, since it's likely that libtool and the BSD *.mk processing will
have got it right, and have a much better idea than we do.
+ Modify PLISTs to contain "ELF symlinks"
+ On a.out platforms, delete any "ELF symlinks" from the generated PLISTs
+ On ELF platforms, no extra processing needs to be done in bsd.pkg.mk
+ Modify print-PLIST target in bsd.pkg.mk to add dummy symlink entries on
a.out platforms
+ Update the documentation in Packages.txt
With many thanks to Thomas Klausner for keeping me honest with this.

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.
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.
