Questions answered:
1.1) What extra items do I need to install PostgreSQL under Irix?
1.2) What changes do I need to make to src/Makefile.global?
1.3) What are the references in X11_LIB to libsocket and libnsl in

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 1: Installing PostgreSQL
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.1) What extra items do I need to install PostgreSQL under Irix?
You *must* have the following installed:
a) Gnu make (installed as gmake)
You are recommended to install the following:
a) GNU install (installed as ginstall)
(This is part of the GNU fileutils package)
You may choose to install the following:
a) GNU readline library (if you wish psql to have readline
support).
b) tcl/tk (if you wish to compile pgtclsh)
1.2) What changes do I need to make to src/Makefile.global or
src/Makefile.custom?
The easiest way to do this is to use the customize script in
the src directory.
You *must* set the following variables:
PORTNAME= irix5
You will also need to change the following to match your own
installation:
POSTGRESDIR
If you switch on the USE_TCL option, you will need to set these:
TCL_INCDIR=
TCL_LIBDIR=
TCL_LIB =
TK_INCDIR=
TK_LIBDIR=
TK_LIB =
You may also make any other changes you need as documented in
the INSTALL file and in Makefile.global
1.3) What are the references in X11_LIB to libsocket and libnsl in
src/Makefile.global?
This was a problem in 1.08 (they are Sun Solaris specific).
It is fixed in 1.09 and above.
1.4) Are there any other changes I should make?
If you have installed the GNU install program (ginstall), you
should add the following line to src/Makefile.custom:
CUSTOM_INSTALL=ginstall
For an explanation as to why this is a good idea, see Question 2.1
Ginstall is part of the GNU fileutils package.
1.5) Can I install PostgreSQL (<V6.3) under Irix 6.x?
Instructions for PostgreSQL V6.3 are answered in Question 1.10!
Irix 6.2-6.4 has a bug in ld which mishandles the addresses of
static procedures when object files are assembled into
larger object files using 'ld -r'. This bug has been reported
to Silicon Graphics.
One option is to use the Gnu version of ld. Alternatively,
the following patch should be applied as a workaround.

If gmake fails in .../src/backend while building obj/ACCESS.o
with a message from ld32, you can work around this by using
ld for the LD environment variable rather than cc.
The problem has been observed under Irix 5.3 when compiling both
Postgres95-1.09 and PostgreSQL-6.2Beta6, but on some systems
these appear to compile with no such problems.
Fix supplied by Brian Sanders (bsanders@netcom.com,

1.7) Why won't it link? (Problems with lorder)
According to the IRIX man pages, lorder is useless, but harmless
under IRIX. However, it has caused problems for some people
using both IRIX 6.2.
The solution is to add the following line to
.../src/makefiles/Makefile.irix5
MK_NO_LORDER=true
1.8) I have major problems with IRIX 6!
The following is quoted directly from Bob Bruccoleri <bruc@bms.com>
There is a really nasty loader bug in the compiler system (7.1)
on Irix 6.x, and the error that Lasse Petersen is the result of it.
Here is the original message. I don't know if all the changes have been
folded into the current release.
Date: Fri, 06 Jun 1997 17:12:20 -0400 (EDT)
From: bruc@bms.com (Robert Bruccoleri)
Subject: [PORTS] Patches for Irix 6.4
I have worked out how to compile PostgreSQL on Irix 6.4 using the -n32 compiler
mode and version 7.1 of the C compiler. (The n32 compiler use 32 bits addressing,
but allows access to all the instructions in the MIPS4 instruction set.)
There were several problems:
1) The ld command is not referenced as a macro in all the Makefiles. On
this platform, you have to include -n32 on all the ld commands. Makefiles
were changed as needed.
2) There is a bug in "ld" which mishandles the addresses of static procedures
when object files are assembled into larger object files using "ld -r".
Because of this, I put a hack into src/backend/Makefile to avoid all the
SUBSYS.o files and just link all the objects. I have contacted SGI about the
problem, and hopefully, it will be fixed in the near future.
3) Lots of warnings are generated from the compiler. Since the regression
tests worked OK, I didn't attempt to fix them. If anyone wants the compilation
log, please let me know, and I'll email it to you.
The version of postgresql was 970602. Here is Makefile.custom:
CUSTOM_COPT = -O2 -n32
MK_NO_LORDER = 1
LD = ld -n32
CC += -n32

1.9) Why does lex fail with PostgreSQL 6.2.1?
IRIX 5.3 lex has been reported to fail in
postgresql-6.2.1/src/backend/parser with the error:
lex scan.l
"scan.l":line 86: Error: Invalid request %x xc
gmake[2]: *** [scan.c] Error 1
The answer is to use GNU flex 2.5.4 or later. Use the command
flex --version
to check you have a new enough version of flex
1.10) How do I install PostgreSQL V6.3 under Irix 6.x?
Irix 6.2-6.4 has a bug in ld which mishandles the addresses of
static procedures when object files are assembled into
larger object files using 'ld -r'. This bug has been reported
to Silicon Graphics.
Depending on your Irix installation you may also encounter
2 other problems detailed below: Conflict in C standards,
Conflict in library functions.
a) Solving the ld bug
---------------------
One option is to use the Gnu version of ld. Alternatively,
the following patch should be applied as a workaround.
(Supplied by Bob Bruccoleri <bruc@bms.com> and modified for

Lasse configured with ./configure --enable-locale
and modified Makefile.custom to contain:
CC = cc -n32
LD = ld -n32
He reports that the installation without -n32 works fine too,
but the -n32 was required for compatibility with his Perl
installation. His system was an Origin200 running IRIX64 v6.4.
b) Conflict in C standards
--------------------------
I have found that the following patch is also necessary in order
to prevent a duplicate definition of a Union used for semaphores.
Apply the following patch to:
.../src/makefile/Makefile.irix5:
*** src/makefiles/Makefile.irix5.orig Thu Mar 5 16:59:58 1998
--- src/makefiles/Makefile.irix5 Thu Mar 5 17:01:13 1998
***************
*** 6,9 ****
%.so: %.o
$(LD) -G -Bdynamic -shared -o $@ $<
!
--- 6,9 ----
%.so: %.o
$(LD) -G -Bdynamic -shared -o $@ $<
! CFLAGS+= -U_NO_XOPEN4
i.e. the addition of the line:
CFLAGS+= -U_NO_XOPEN4
This is needed to stop the semun union being redefined in
/usr/include/sys/sem.h
c) Conflict in library functions
--------------------------------
In addition, if you have the nsl and crypt libraries these will
conflict with the required definitions. I think that libnsl.a
may be the Netware socket library (or something similar). In
any case, if you have these libraries, they will be added to
Makefile.global and you will need to remove them.
Thus, you should edit .../src/Makefile.global. Goto (approximately)
line 217 where LDFLAGS= is set and remove -lnsl and -lcrypt
from this line.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 2: Deinstalling PostgreSQL
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2.1) Why can't I move the executable files?
By default, the IRIX port uses the BSD compatible version of
install from /usr/bin/X11. If you read the man page for this
version of install, you will see that it is not meant for
end-user use; it has the interesting side-effect of chowning
files it installs to root.
You should still be able to delete the files as you (the
postgres user) will own the directory in which they are
stored.
The normal IRIX install program cannot be used easily as it
takes its arguments in the reverse order. It is therefore
recommended to use the GNU version of install (ginstall).
See Question 1.4
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 3: Extending PostgreSQL
----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1) How do I compile a C program to create a function for extending
PostgreSQL
Here is a sample command line:
cc -I/usr/local/PostgreSQL/include/ -I/usr/local/PostgreSQL/src/backend
-shared -o funcs.so funcs.c

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 1: Compiling PostgreSQL
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.1) What changes do I need to make to src/Makefile.global or
src/Makefile.custom and are there any other changes needed?
Changes to the makefiles are most easily made by running the
customize shell script in the src directory which will write a
Makefile.custom for you.
The only other change you may have to make is to replace
Flex if you have version 2.5.3 which has a bug which generally
manifests itself as createuser failing (See Question 3.4)
If you modify the makefiles by hand, you *must* set the
following variable:
PORTNAME= linux
You will also need to change the following to match your own
installation:
POSTGRESDIR
If you switch on the USE_TCL option, you will need to set these:
TCL_INCDIR=
TCL_LIBDIR=
TCL_LIB=
TK_INCDIR=
TK_LIBDIR=
TK_LIB=
X11_INCDIR=
X11_LIBDIR=
X11_LIB=
On my Slackware3.0 system, these are:
TCL_INCDIR= /usr/include/tcl
TCL_LIBDIR= /usr/lib
TCL_LIB= -ltcl
TK_INCDIR= /usr/include/tcl
TK_LIBDIR= /usr/lib
TK_LIB= -ltk
X11_INCDIR= /usr/include/X11
X11_LIBDIR= /usr/X386/lib
X11_LIB= -lX11
You may also make any other changes you need as documented in
the INSTALL file and in Makefile.global
1.2) Why do I get problems with missing libreadline?
Linux systems generally don't come with the GNU readline library
installed. Either ensure you do not activate the readline options
in src/Makefile.global or src/Makefile.custom or install the GNU
readline library.
Note that Debian Linux (like FreeBSD) does come with readline
installed.
1.3) [REDHAT] Why do I get problems with missing libdl and dlfcn.h?
This manifests itself as being unable to link with functions
such as dlopen(), dlclose(), etc. during the last phase of the
compilation.
The libdl library is used for dynamic linking of user-supplied
functions at run-time. For some reason this library was missed out
from the Redhat distribution. It seems that the latest Redhat 4.0
(Colgate) fixes this.
RedHat now have a new ld.so RPM package on their FTP site.
Simply grab:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/devel/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ld.so-1.7.14-4.i386.rpm
Install the RPM file in the usual way and off you go!
NOTE! You will have to re-run configure and do a make clean
after installing the library and before recompiling.
There has been one report of a corrupted system resulting from
programs accessing these libraries while updating them (not
altogether surprising). Consequently it is a good idea to reboot
the system before installing the new libraries and to
have as little running as possible during this upgrade. Going
into single-user mode is probably a good idea!
If you want to do it the hard way, you can obtain the library and the
header file from:
ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC/ld.so-1.7.14.tar.gz
Alternatively, you may find precompiled binaries in
distributions/debian/buzz/binary-i386/base/ld.so-1.7.14-4.deb
on the same site, or follow the instructions given for question 1.2 for
correcting the same error with early releases of Slackware 3.1.
Don't use this method unless you know what you are doing!
1.4) [SLACKWARE 3.1] Why do I get problems with missing libdl and dlfcn.h?
This manifests itself as being unable to link with functions
such as dlopen(), dlclose(), etc. during the last phase of the
compilation.
See the answer to question 1.3. Slackware up to version 3.0 was
supplied with this library and include file and they seem to be
back in again in the latest versions of 3.1, but the early 3.1
releases (before 9th September 1996) had them missing and many
CD-ROM versions will have been pressed from the first 3.1 releases.
There has been one report of a corrupted system resulting from
programs accessing these libraries while updating them (not
altogether surprising). Consequently it is a good idea to reboot
the system before installing the new libraries and to
have as little running as possible during this upgrade. Going
into single-user mode is probably a good idea!
The easiest fix is to obtain the file ldso.tgz from the a4 disk of
a more recent Slackware distribution and unpack this file
from the root (/) directory, then do
sh install/doinst.sh
to complete the installation. Follow this with
ldconfig
NOTE! You will have to re-run configure and do a make clean
after installing the library and before recompiling.
If you want to install manually, you must first install the file
dlfcn.h in /usr/include.
Second, install the file libdl.so.1.7.14 (or whatever the latest
release is) in /lib, then do:
cd /lib
ln -sf libdl.so.1.7.14 libdl.so.1
ln -sf libdl.so.1 libdl.so
On some systems (depending on your GCC configuration) it may be
necessary to do:
cd /usr/lib
ln -sf /lib/libdl.so .
Finally
ldconfig
NOTE! You will have to re-run configure and do a make clean
after installing the library and before recompiling.
1.5) My compile of the backend dies complaining about the include file
dlfcn.h missing
See the answer to question 1.3/1.4. Don't forget that if you are using
an a.out system you must first have installed the dld package
(which is not supplied with most a.out systems) to have dlfcn.h
at all. See Question 1.11.
1.6) GCC complains about an ignored option -fpic
Earlier versions of GCC accepted either -fpic or -fPIC.
It appears that more recent versions (V2.7.2?) require -fPIC.
If you are using an ELF version of Linux, this can safely be
ignored as -fPIC is the default.
You can correct this by editing src/Makefile.global and
changing CFLAGS_SL
1.7) I get warnings of the form
warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
These were seen in earlier versions of Postgres95 and could
safely be ignored. PostgreSQL V6.0 should compile with no warnings
except those related to system header files (which can also
be safely ignored).
1.8) [SuSE-Linux 4.2-4.4] Where is curses and termcap?
SuSE-Linux 4.2 has ncurses but not curses. 4.4 appears to have both.
SuSE-Linux also has the termcap library is in /usr/lib/termcap
instead of in /usr/lib.
PostgreSQL (up to V6.0)
-----------------------
Set the value of CURSES_LIB in src/Makefile.custom to -lncurses
(or do this through the customize script).
Add the following line to src/Makefile.custom:
LDADD_BE+= -L/usr/lib/termcap
You may need to edit src/bin/psql/Makefile and change:
ifeq ($(PORTNAME), linux)
LD_ADD+=
to:
ifeq ($(PORTNAME), linux)
LD_ADD+= -ltermcap
PostgreSQL (V6.1)
-----------------
The configure script doesn't know to look in /usr/lib/termcap for
the termcap library, so you should specify this as one of the
library directories when asked for additional directories to
search.
If this doesn't work (I don't have SuSE to verify that it does)
then after running configure, you need to edit
src/Makefile.global and add -ltermcap to the LDFLAGS line
(after -lreadline). (Alternatively, you can modify
src/Makefile.custom before running configure.)
Some versions of SuSE provide only ncurses, so you may need
to force use of ncurses rather than curses by changing
-lcurses to -lncurses. (Reported true for SuSE 5.1)
1.9) Why do I get problems with ld.so?
If you get problems with ld.so, another library required under
ELF for dynamic loading, then you have messed up your installation
or (more likely) upgrade of Linux.
See the answers to Question 1.3/1.4. You may need to install
ld.so.x.y.z in /lib and run ldconfig.
The most recent stable release of the ld package is 1.7.14
At the time of writing, 1.8.x versions of ld are experimental.
1.10) Why do I get `yy_flush_buffer undefined' errors?
This isn't really Linux specific, but is common on older Linux
installations. You must have a recent version of flex (2.5.2 or later)
to compile PostgreSQL. Note that flex 2.5.3 has a bug: see
Question 3.4.
1.11) How do I compile PostgreSQL on an a.out system?
First, you must install the dld library. This may be obtained
from Sunsite as:
Linux/libs/dld.3.2.7.tar.gz
(ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/libs/dld.3.2.7.tar.gz)
Second, add the following line to src/Makefile.custom:
LINUX_ELF=
(or use the customize script)
1.12) Why does make fail with:
yacc -d /disk2/PostgreSQL/src/backend/parser/gram.y
make: /usr/bin/make: cannot execute binary file
This was a problem in earlier versions of Postgres95. The default
for PostgreSQL is to use bison -y rather than yacc.
yacc is generally implemented as a script which invokes bison -y
For some reason (certain versions of make? certain versions of
bash?) make is unable to execute this script file.
To correct this, simply edit src/mk/port/postgres.mk.linux
and, at the end of the file, change:
# YACC = bison -y
to
YACC = bison -y
1.13) What are the references in X11_LIB to libsocket and libnsl in
src/Makefile.global?
This was a problem in 1.08 (they are Sun Solaris specific).
It is fixed in 1.09 and 6.0
1.14) [DEBIAN] Where is libtermcap?
Debian Linux comes without the termcap library and uses ncurses
(which uses terminfo instead). There is no need to change the
CURSES_LIB variable in src/bin/psql/Makefile since Debian provides
a link from libncurses to libcurses (unlike SuSE-Linux --- see
Question 1.8).
You may need to edit src/bin/psql/Makefile and comment out the
change:
ifeq ($(PORTNAME), linux)
LD_ADD+= -ltermcap
to:
ifeq ($(PORTNAME), linux)
LD_ADD+=
1.15) [REDHAT] Can I get PostgreSQL as an RPM?
Yes! Michal Mosiewicz <mimo@lodz.pdi.net>
(http://www.pdi.lodz.pl/~mimo) has kindly put together an RPM
for PostgreSQL V6.0 on Intel architectures which he has uploaded to
ftp://ftp.redhat.org/pub/Incoming/Postgres-6.0-1.i386.rpm
This is a pre-compiled version, the source RPM is on its
was as I write (3rd Feb 1997).
1.16) While trying to compile a development version under Linux, compilation
fails with a message like:
In file included from /usr/include/sys/sem.h:8,
from ipc.c:37:
/usr/include/asm/bitops.h:32: warning: no previous prototype for Set_bit'
....
make: *** [ipc.o] Error 1
The problem is that Linux provides no prototypes for these
inline functions. The solution is to go into the
.../src/backend/storage/ipc directory and edit the Makefile.
Change the line
CFLAGS+=$(INCLUDE_OPT)
to
CFLAGS+=$(INCLUDE_OPT) -Wno-error
Do the same in the ../src/backend/storage/lmgr directory.
1.17) When compiling postgres, gcc reports signal 11 and aborts.
More specifically:
gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal
signal 11
This may be a hardware/memory problem. PortgreSQL is a big
program, and large gcc compilations (such as building
PostgreSQL or bebuilding the kernel) stress memory like
few other programs, resulting in errors that do not occur
in normal operation. Lesser operating systems are also
unlikely to stress the hardware to this degree so you
may never see any problems under DOS/Windows.
More information on this problem at:
http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11
1.18) Can I install 6.1.1 under MkLinux?
Tatsuo Ishii <t-ishii@sra.co.jp> has done this under
MkLinux DR2.1 update2 after a small patch available from:
ftp://ftp.sra.co.jp/pub/cmd/postgres/6.1.1/mklinux.patch.gz
1.19) Why does make exit or crash?
There have been a couple of reports of gmake either just
exiting early or seg faulting. The latter problem was reported
with gmake 3.74 - upgrading to 3.76.1 solved the problem.
However, 3.74 is known to work fine in other people's setups.
In short, try upgrading gmake to the latest version you can
find before reporting this as a problem
1.20) How can I optimise for 486 or pentium processors
The default compiler flags perform no optimisation for 486
or Pentium processors. To add such optimisation, edit
Makefile.custom and add:
CFLAGS+= -m486
or (for the new compilers that most people are not yet running)
CFLAGS+= -mpentium
or
CFLAGS+= -mpentiumpro
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 2: Compiling accessory programs
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2.1) The linker fails to find libX11 when compiling pgtclsh
Add the following to src/Makefile.custom
X11_LIBDIR = /usr/X11R6/lib
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 3: Runtime Problems
----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1) I get an error reporting _fUnKy_POSTPORT_sTuFf_ undefined when
running scripts like createuser
This is a bug in V1.06-V1.07 of Postgres and is fixed in V1.08
and above.
3.2) I run postmaster and after that system says 'Bad system call(Core
dumped)'
This indicates that you have not compiled shared memory support
into your kernel. You need to recompile the Linux kernel to add this
feature.
3.3) When I try to start the Postmaster, why do I get an error of the form
Failed Assertion("!(file != 0):(null)", File:
"/usr/local/PostgreSQL/src/backend/storage/file/fd.c", Line: 257)
!(file != 0) (0)
initdb: could not create template database
initdb: cleaning up.
Your permissions on the file /dev/null are wrong.
ls -l /dev/null should give you something like:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 2, 2 Oct 8 18:41 /dev/null
Correct the permissions using:
chmod a+rw /dev/null
3.4) Why doesn't createuser work?
There is a problem with Version 2.5.3 of GNU flex and createuser.
Your options are to downgrade flex to V2.5.2, upgrade to V2.5.4
or apply a patch to V2.5.3 which is supplied in doc/README.flex
You may obtain V2.5.4 from
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/flex-2.5.4.tar.gz
3.5) Why do I get an error like:
IpcMemoryCreate: memKey=155356396 , size=760632 ,
permission=384IpcMemoryCreate: shmget(..., create, ...)
failed: Invalid argument
You haven't build IPC support into your Linux kernel. You
will have to rebuild the kernel and switch on this option.
3.6) Why does psql fail with:
psql: can't load library 'libpq.so.1'
Psql has been compiled to link dynamically with the libpq
library.
To solve this, you should log in as root and edit the file
/etc/ld.so.conf
Add a single line at the end which gives the name of the
PostgreSQL library directory (the lib subdirectory of your
PostgreSQL installation) and run
/sbin/ldconfig -v
Alternatively, (and if you don't have root access), you may
use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
The LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable contains a colon separated list of
paths to be searched for shared libraries. This list is
searched before the libraries specified by ldconfig.
Therefore under Bash, you would do something like:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH='PathToPGSQL'/lib
or, using tcsh
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH 'PathToPGSQL'/lib
replacing 'PathToPGSQL' with the appropriate path to your top level
PostgreSQL directory
Note that the ldd command can be used on a dynamically linked
executable to list the paths to all the shared libraries upon
which the executable depends.
3.7) Other strange behaviour
I'm not sure what the symptoms might be except for nothing
working properly, but it has been pointed out that one needs
to be careful that the dynamic loader loads the correct version
of the libpq library. If you have old versions lying around
in your library path (for example in /usr/lib) these may get
loaded instead of the new version you intended to load. Make
sure you get them out of the way and look at Q3.6 for
details of loading libraries.
3.8) When PostgreSQL is running when the system is shutdown, Linux
always fsck's the disk when rebooted.
There have been some reports of this happening and it seems
to be a result of running PostgreSQL from /etc/inittab as
suggested in the INSTALL document.
You are therefore recommended to start the postmaster from an
rc script. Under a Slackware-like release, you would modify
/etc/rc.d/rc.local to start the postmaster. Under a RedHat-like
release you should create a SysV style script in
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d based on the /etc/rc.d/init.d skeleton file.
There's a sample file in contrib/linux/postgres.init
Here's another sample file supplied by John Robinson
<john@intelligent.co.uk> which you should modify as needed:
#!/bin/sh
#
# postgreSQL.init This shell script takes care of starting and stopping
# the PostgreSQL postmaster.
#
# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network
# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0
# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
# Start daemons.
echo -n "Starting postgres Postmaster daemon:"
if [ -z "`pidofproc postmaster`" ]
then
su postgres -c "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /home/postgreSQL/data -p 5432 &"
echo -n " postmaster"
else
echo -n " (already running)"
fi
echo
touch /var/lock/subsys/postgres
;;
stop)
# Stop daemons.
echo -n "Shutting down postgres Postmaster daemon: "
killall -TERM postmaster 2>/dev/null
killall -TERM postgres 2>/dev/null
echo
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/postgres
;;
*)
echo "Usage: postgres {start|stop}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
3.9) Why does Query 32 in the regression tests take so long?
This is due to a bug in regression scripts which only happens
on linux boxes. There are two workarounds as far as I know
(information from Tatsuo Ishii <t-ishii@sra.co.jp>):
1. change following in regress.sh:
time postgres -texecutor -tplanner -Q bench < bench.sql
to:
postgres -texecutor -tplanner -Q bench < bench.sql
2. after running the test, remove a line at the very end of
bench.out something like:
85.86user 114.47system 4:49.20elapsed 69%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
then type:
sh ./perquery < bench.out > & bench.out.perquery
3.10) Why do I get funny rounding results in some date/time arithmetic,
such as
select '4 hours'::timespan;
returning '3 hours 59 minutes 60 seconds'?
You are running the new glibc2 libraries and have a version earlier than
2.0.7. It is a math rounding problem in the library. Upgrade your library.

CHANGES IN THE 6.3 RELEASE
--------------------------
There are some general 6.3 issues that I want to mention. These are
only the big items that can not be described in one sentence.
First, we now have subselects. Now that we have them, I would like to
mention that without subselects, SQL is a very limited language.
Subselects are a major feature, and you should review your code for
places where subselects provide a better solution for your queries. I
think you will find that there are more uses for subselects than you may
think. Vadim has put us on the big SQL map with subselects, and fully
functional ones too. The only thing you can't do with subselects is to
use them in the target list.
Second, 6.3 uses unix domain sockets rather than TCP/IP by default. To
enable connections from other machines, you have to use the new
postmaster -i option, and of course edit pg_hba.conf. Also, for this
reason, the format of pg_hba.conf has changed.
Third, char() fields will now allow faster access than varchar() or
text. Specifically, the text and varchar() have a penalty for access to
any columns after the first column of this type. char() used to also
have this access penalty, but it no longer does. This may suggest that
you redesign some of your tables, especially if you have short character
columns that you have defined as varchar() or text. This and other
changes make 6.3 even faster than earlier releases.
We now have passwords definable independent of any Unix file. There are
new SQL USER commands. See the pg_hba.conf manual page for more
information. There is a new table, pg_shadow, which is used to store
user information and user passwords, and it by default only SELECT-able
by the postgres super-user. pg_user is now a view of pg_shadow, and is
SELECT-able by PUBLIC. You should keep using pg_user in your
application without changes.
User-created tables now no longer have SELECT permission to PUBLIC by
default. This was done because the ANSI standard requires it. You can
of course GRANT any permissions you want after the table is created.
System tables continue to be SELECT-able by PUBLIC.
We also have real deadlock detection code. No more sixty-second
timeouts. And the new locking code implements a FIFO better, so there
should be less resource starvation during heavy use.
Many complaints have been made about inadequate documenation in previous
releases. Thomas has put much effort into many new manuals for this
release. Check out the /doc directory.
For performance reasons, time travel is gone, but can be implemented
using triggers (see pgsql/contrib/spi/README). Please check out the new
\d command for types, operators, etc. Also, views have their own
permissions now, not based on the underlying tables, so permissions on
them have to be set separately. Check /pgsql/interfaces for some new
ways to talk to PostgreSQL.
This is the first release that really required an explaination for
existing users. In many ways, this was necessary because the new
release removes many limitations, and the work-arounds people were using
are no longer needed.
