Hi,
Some time ago I received a big patch from Ola Hansson that corrects
a bunch of stuff in many modules so they can work with PG 7.1. Then
Chris Hardy patched his patch for intranet and corrected some things,
but only for intranet.
I am not familiar with what the bug was, so if someone would please
explain them to me, it'd be nice. I've been going through the patch
and changing some things that needed to be changed. However, in my
tests with PG 7.1 RC4 I don't see any problem with order by:
test=# select * from bar;
name | last_name
--------+-------------
fulano | da silva
jose | maria
Zeca | austrogildo
(3 rows)
test=# select * from bar order by upper(last_name);
name | last_name
--------+-------------
Zeca | austrogildo
fulano | da silva
jose | maria
(3 rows)
I am up to line 250 of the patch now, out of > 600. Most of the
patch needs to be changed, so if the bug is no longer relevant in 7.1
final (or RC4 since it's the same as final) then I can just delete a
big chunck of the patch.
If somebody knows details of the bug, I can create a test case asd
see if it's still relevant. It doesn't look like it.
