> Bug #1: attribute name when column is type cast:
>
> Given the following table:
>
> test=# \d f
> Table "f"
> Column | Type | Modifiers
> --------+---------+-----------
> i | integer |
> test | text |
>
> If I do the following:
>
> test=# insert into f values(1,'test');
> INSERT 139549 1
> test=# select i::int8,test from f;
> ?column? | test
> ----------+------
> 1 | test
> (1 row)

> It doesn't make much sense that the first column should be called

> Found this while testing the first patch. As it happens I only have one
> box handy and it was running PG already. I changed the default port to
> 9999. When I executed bin/psql (the freshly built psql) it connected to my
> production postmaster on port 5432.
>
> The patch sets the configured port to that defined in pg_config.h.
