6.3.2. patch for functional indices

From

Hi,

I tried to apply the patch that Vadim posted about a week ago to make use
of functional indices, however, it didn't apply (dunno why, I have a
vanilla 6.3.2 source-tree here).

Can anybody please send me a patched indxpath.c?

Maarten

    Unless I'm wrong (which is always a possibility), the fact that
you have a vanilla 6.3.2 tree is the problem.  Most, if not all, of the
v6.3.2 patches that have been produced have been cumulative...you need to
apply all the previous ones released before...

I grabbed all patches from ftr.postgresql.org/pub/patches and applied them
(it's kinda confusing, some have to be applied *in* the src/ directory,
others *outside* the src dir). After this, I wasstill unable to
apply that patch from vadim.

I applied these patches:

-rw-r--r--   1 postgres  wheel   5820 Aug 12 07:02 btree_adj-980730
-rw-r--r--   1 postgres  wheel  43208 Aug 12 07:02 configure-980430
-rw-r--r--   1 postgres  wheel  39675 Aug 12 07:02 linux_elf.patch-980421

The linux one isn't important for me, but I thought what the heck I'll do
it anyways.

I don't know why the patch won't apply (maybe you are using broken
Solaris's patch command?)

anyway, I will send you the file the patch applied in another mail.
