currently unapplied regarding spi_internal.c, makes some additional fixes relating to return types, and also contains the fix for preventing the use of insecure versions of Safe.pm. There is one remaing return case that does not appear to work, namely return of a composite directly in a select, i.e. if foo returns some composite type, 'select * from foo()' works but 'select foo()' doesn't. We will either fix that or document it as a limitation. The function plperl_func_handler is a mess - I will try to get it cleaned up (and split up) in a subsequent patch, time permitting. Also, reiterating previous advice - this changes slightly the API for spi_exec_query - the returned object has either 2 or 3 members: 'status' (string) and 'proceesed' (int,- number of rows) and, if rows are returned, 'rows' (array of tuple hashes).

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains several language bindings, including C and Tcl. The JDBC, ODBC, C++, and Python interfaces have been moved to the PostgreSQL Projects Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate maintenance. A Perl DBI/DBD driver is available from CPAN. See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
