[PATCHES] Afrikaans translation of libpq
Hi I started a new translation of postgresql into Afrikaans (af_ZA). Attached is the file libpq.po Please also make sure that Afrikaans is added to the right nls.mk file.

Re: [PATCHES] Some new SPI functions
Sure, I'll provide some docs.

Thanks. -- - Thomas Hallgren wrote: I need three new functions in the Server Programming Interface (SPI) when mapping an ExecutionPlan to a Java prepared statement (Pl/Java project). The execute method of the prepared statement needs to know if the result is a ResultSet (SPI_cursor_open) or just a number indicated how many rows that where affected (SPI_execp). Currently there's no way I can tell by just looking at the plan unless I violate the data hiding and use spi_priv.h. I really don't want to do that. Hence the need for SPI_is_cursor_plan I send an array of java objects for the arguments. The SPI_cursor_open/SPI_execp of course expects the arguments to be Datum's and the mapper must convert java objects. The mapping code is based on Oid's so I need a way to extract the number of expected arguments and the typeid of each arguments. I find it likely that other pllang implementations where similar support is planned might find these functions useful.

Re: [PATCHES] [HACKERS] dollar quoting
Tom Lane wrote: Andrew Dunstan [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I ended up not using a regex, which seemed to be a little heavy handed, but just writing a small custom recognition function, that should (and I think does) mimic the pattern recognition for these tokens used by the backend lexer. I looked at this and realized that it still doesn't do very well at distinguishing $foo$ from other random uses of $. The problem is that looking back at just the immediately preceding character isn't enough context to tell whether a $ is part of an identifier. Consider the input a42$foo$ This is a legal identifier according to PG 7.4. But how about 42$foo$ This is a syntax error in 7.4, and we propose to redefine it as an integer literal '42' followed by a dollar-quote start symbol. The test in the patch I sent is this: else if (!dol_quote valid_dolquote(line+i) (i == 0 || ! ((line[i-prevlen] 0x80) != 0 || isalnum(line[i-prevlen]) || line[i-prevlen] == '_' || line[i-prevlen] == '$' ))) The test should not succeed anywhere in the string '42$foo$'. Note that psql does not change any '$foo$' at all - it just passes it to the backend. The reason we need this at all in psql is that it has to detect the end of a statement, and it has to prompt correctly, and to do that it needs to know if we are in a quote (single, double, dollar) or a comment. psql does not detect many syntax errors, or even lexical errors - that is the job of the backend - rightly so, I believe. There's no way to tell these apart with a single-character lookback, or indeed any fixed number of characters of lookback. I'm still not convinced, although maybe there's something I'm not getting. I begin to think that we'll really have to bite the bullet and convert psql's input parser to use flex. If we're not scanning with exactly the same rules as the backend uses, we're going to get the wrong answers. Interacting with lexer states would probably be ... unpleasant. Matching a stream oriented lexer with a line oriented CLI would be messy I suspect. cheers andrew ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send unregister YourEmailAddressHere to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
