Обсуждение: How to put back??

Hi all,
I have recented joined and working on postgres. I fixed a bug that I 
saw in the mailing list. I ran the regression test that is available in 
postgres. It was successful and now I need the following details..

1) Test suits that i could get to test my code..
2) How can I put back my fix into postgres src code.. (or) What is the 
procedure that I should follow at this stage??

Waiting for your suggestions,
Thanks
Dhanaraj

Post the patch to pgsql-patches. The regression test is the test suite.

Have a nice day,

Regression tests are #1, you can create your own tests if it is "new behavior"
You can also try testing against pgbench, php-tpcw, the OSDL database tests 
etc..

Create a context diff and sent it to the pgsql-patches@postgresql.org list.

There is an existing test suite in the source code in src/test/regress.

You might check in there to see where the tests relevant to the
feature you modified reside, and see if you can add relevant tests
that break, in the unpatched system, and work fine, after the change.

Once you have a patch, there's a patches list where you can submit it...
