Missing file from JDBC Driver

The ChangeLog file is missing. I didn't spot this until I went in to add
an entry to it. Luckily, I still had the mail I sent back in August, which
was when it was created.

It should go in the src/interfaces/jdbc directory, along side the
Makefile.

    - removed syncronised from Connection.ExecSQL(). See next entry.
    - added new syncronised locking in the Connection.ExecSQL() and
      FastPath.fastpath() methods. They now lock against the PG_Steam
      object for the connection, which now provides full Thread Safety.
    - Reposted ChangeLog as it's missing from CVS.
    
Modifications done since 6.3.2 was released and Sun Aug 30 11:33:06 BST 1998

    - Fixed PreparedStatement.setObject as it didn't handle shorts
    - ResultSet.getDate() now handles null dates (returns null ratrher
      than a NullPointerException)
    - ResultSetMetaData.getPrecision() new returns 0 for VARCHAR
    - Field now caches the typename->oid in a Hashtable to speed things
      up. It removes the need for some unnecessary queries to the backend.
    - PreparedStatement.toString() now returns the SQL statement that it
      will send to the backend. Before it did nothing.
    - DatabaseMetaData.getTypeInfo() now does something.
    - Connection now throws an exception if either of the user or password
      properties are missing, as they are required for JDBC to work.
      This occasionally occurs when the client uses the properties version
      of getConnection(), and is a common question on the email lists.

    - Created ChangeLog file, and entered stuff done since 6.3.2 and today
    - Change version number to 6.4 in Driver.java
    - Added fix to DatabaseMetaData.getTables() submitted by
      Stefan Andreasen <stefan@linux.kapow.dk>
    - Added fix to DatabaseMetaData.getColumns() to handle patterns
      submitted by Stefan Andreasen <stefan@linux.kapow.dk>
    - Set TcpNoDelay on the connection, as this gives us a 10x speed
      improvement on FreeBSD (caused by a bug in their TCP Stack). They
      should fix the bug before 6.4 is released, but will keep this
      in here unless it causes more problems.
      Submitted by Jason Venner <jason@idiom.com>
    - Removed a duplicate definition of fieldCache
    - Added a more meaningful message when the connection is refused. It
      now says:
        Connection refused. Check that the hostname and port is
        correct, and that the postmaster is running with the -i flag,
        which enables TCP/IP networking.
    - Removed kludge in PreparedStatement.setDate() that acted as a
      temporary fix to a bug in SimpleDateFormat, as it broke date
      handling in JDK 1.1.6.
    - Modified PG_Stream and Connection, so that outbound data is now
      buffered. This should give us a speed improvement, and reduce the
      ammount of network packets generated.
    - Removed duplicate code and optimised PG_Stream.
    - PG_Stream now returns a more meaningful message when the connection
      is broken by the backend. It now returns:
        The backend has broken the connection. Possibly the action you
        have attempted has caused it to close.
    - Removed obsolete code from Connection.
    - The error message returned when the authentication scheme is unknown
      has been extended. It now reads:
        Authentication type ### not supported. Check that you have
        configured the pg_hba.conf file to include the client's IP
        address or Subnet, and is using a supported authentication
        scheme.
    - Connection.getMetaData() now caches the instance returned, so
      multiple calls will return the same instance.
    - Created a test application that tests the DatabaseMetaData and
      ResultSetMetaData classes.
    - Replaced getString(#).getBytes() with getBytes(#) which should speed
      things up, and reduce memory useage.
    - Optimised DatabaseMetaData.getProcedures(), and implemented patterns
    - Fixed NullPointerExceptions thrown when a field is null (Internal
      to the driver, not caused by results from the backend.
      DatabaseMetaData.getProcedures() is an example of a method that
      causes this):
        - ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName() now returns field# where
          # is the column name.
        - ResultSet.getObject() fixed
        - Fixed bug in psql example that was affected by null fields
        - DatabaseMetaData.getTables()
    - DatabaseMetaData.getPrimaryKeys() ran a query with an ambiguous field
      fixed.
    - getTypeInfo() optimised to increase speed and reduce memory useage
    - ResultSetMetaData.isCurrency() optimised and is now smaller.
    - Removed unnecessary code fromResultSetMetaData.getCatalogName()
      and getSchemaName().
    - Created new class postgresql.util.PGmoney to map the money type
    - Created new class postgresql.geometric.PGline to map the line type
