Sorry,
I´m very new user of PostgreSQL and I need to apply a patch whitten in
C. I´m looking for the information "how to apply patches in PostgreSQL"
and it is not part of the manual.
Could you help me? And by suggestion, could you include this information
in the Administration manual?...
Thanks

Applying a patch is not a task that is in any way specific to
PostgreSQL, so it doesn't, I think, belong in PostgreSQL's manual.
A patch is produced by using "diff -c" or "diff -u"; it contains file
pathnames like this:
--- postgresql-7.2.1.orig/contrib/rserv/Makefile
+++ postgresql-7.2.1/contrib/rserv/Makefile

The patch is applied with the command "patch" - check its man page.
If your current directory is postgresql-7.2.1, you will apply the above
patch with the command "patch -p1 </path/to/the/patch/file"; "-p1" tells
patch to drop one path element from the pathname of the files to be
patched; in this example, that would change the first path to
"contrib/rserv/Makefile". If there is no path element to drop, use
"-p0".
