Issues with the latest 6.5 source

I refreshed my 6.5 source last night (last time was early April). This had
some patches to case and coalesce that I needed. This is working great
except for the following two areas:

1) The \g option in pgsql is failing. I have been using this technique
for months to create a script file from and SQL statement and then execute
the file. Here is the steps that worked before I pulled down code last
night:

\g sip_revoke_all.sql
unexpected character Z following 'I'

Once the above error occurs, the script will hang
until I manually break (ctrl-c).

2) My Access97 application using ODBC can't connect to the database.
Nothing has changed other than rebuilding the source. In attempts to fix
this, I and destroyed my databases, rm $PGDATA, and performed initdb. I have
verified that pg_hba.conf is correct before and after recreating my
databases. The Psqlodbc.log log file is below. I can log onto the
database using psql on my linux workstation just fine.

Has anything changed in the code recently (within the past 3 weeks) that
could have had some effect these two conditions? I am at a complete stand
still until I can get my ODBC issue resolved. I can work around item 1.

Thanks Michael

I'll look at that this evening --- I was fooling with psql's command
parsing a couple days ago, might have busted it.

2) My Access97 application using ODBC can't connect to the database.

Dunno about this one.

Fixed. I had managed to break the empty-query response protocol on
Sunday --- odd that none of the regression tests detected this. Sigh.

2) My Access97 application using ODBC can't connect to the database.

I now have a strong suspicion that this is caused by the same goof.
ODBC might issue an empty query during startup. (That used to be a
necessary part of the startup protocol; it isn't anymore, but ODBC
very possibly hasn't been changed.)

If you don't have CVS access and don't want to wait for tonight's
snapshot, here is the patch:

*** src/backend/tcop/dest.c~	Wed Apr 28 18:15:07 1999
--- src/backend/tcop/dest.c	Wed Apr 28 18:15:45 1999
***************
*** 336,342 ****

! 			pq_putbytes("I", 1);
  			break;
  		case Local:
--- 336,342 ----
  			 *		tell the fe that we saw an empty query string
  			 * ----------------
  			 */
! 			pq_putbytes("I", 2); /* note we send I and \0 */
  			break;

case Local:

Let us know if that helps...

Yea!!!!! This fixes the problem. I will test the \g option in a few hours
after I have completely repopulated my data. How about adding a comment
about the importance of this patch? Thanks Tom for tracking this down so
quickly.

Thanks, Michael
