pgbuiltin.3 is obsolete for sure, and libpq.3 can become so since the
size and scope of this man page is not appropriate in a man page format.
|
|
couple weeks ago on the hackers and interfaces lists:
1. When the backend sends a NOTICE message and closes the connection
(typically, because it was told to by the postmaster after
another backend coredumped), libpq will now print the notice
and close the connection cleanly. Formerly, the frontend app
would usually terminate ungracefully due to a SIGPIPE. (I am
not sure if 6.3.2 behaved that way, but the current cvs sources
do...)
2. libpq's various printouts to stderr are now fed through a single
"notice processor" routine, which can be overridden by the
application to direct notices someplace else. This should ease
porting libpq to Windows.
I also noticed and fixed a problem in PQprint: when sending output
to a pager subprocess, it would disable SIGPIPE in case the pager
terminates early (this is good) --- but afterwards it reset SIGPIPE
to SIG_DFL, rather than restoring the application's prior setting
(bad).

Attached are diffs (from current cvs sources) to bring libpq.sgml
and libpq.3 up to date.
It appears that at various times in the past, people have made edits to
one or the other of these files but not both. I propagated some changes
from each into the other, but I don't think I caught every
inconsistency. It'd be real nice if the man pages could be
automatically generated from the SGML...

1. Remove the char2, char4, char8 and char16 types from postgresql
2. Change references of char16 to name in the regression tests.
3. Rename the char16.sql regression test to name.sql. 4. Modify
the regression test scripts and outputs to match up.
Might require new regression.{SYSTEM} files...

I've completed the patch to fix the protocol and authentication issues I
was discussing a couple of weeks ago. The particular changes are:
- the protocol has a version number
- network byte order is used throughout
- the pg_hba.conf file is used to specify what method is used to
authenticate a frontend (either password, ident, trust, reject, krb4
or krb5)
- support for multiplexed backends is removed
- appropriate changes to man pages
- the -a switch to many programs to specify an authentication service
no longer has any effect
- the libpq.so version number has changed to 1.1
The new backend still supports the old protocol so old interfaces won't
break.
