Here are the updates for updates.inc for the postgres port of drupal 4.6
I am still in the process of working through all the new functionality
and making sure it all works, and I also need to finish testing the new
installs (database schema) although I am 99% sure they are correct.
More patches will probably be forthcoming, but I need to run to catch
my plane to belgium. See you guys soon.

By the way, here's a note to keep tabs on a search issue:
Search stores scores and totals for words. These are all integers.
But in the search results query, I use SUM(score/total) and it is
intended that the division is done without rounding, i.e. with floating
point numbers. MySQL automatically does this, but I believe PGSQL will
truncate the result back to an integer. This is bad as every value of
score/total is 0 < x < 1 and would thus be truncated to zero.
Of course we could change the column types to floats instead, but I'm
not sure this is a good idea.

Here is an updated patch that has been adequately tested (imo at least).

I haven't managed to get any more errors from search module, and
everything seems to be working fine.

The following change seems wrong to me:
-  $query = "SELECT i.type, i.sid, i.word, SUM(i.score/t.count) AS
score FROM {search_index} i $join INNER JOIN {search_total} t ON i.word
= t.word WHERE $where GROUP BY i.type, i.sid ORDER BY score DESC";
+  $query = "SELECT i.type, i.sid, i.word, SUM(i.score/t.count) AS
score FROM {search_index} i $join INNER JOIN {search_total} t ON i.word
= t.word WHERE $where GROUP BY i.type, i.sid, i.word ORDER BY score
DESC";
This will cause the search scores to be calculated and returned per
word rather than as a sum of all matching words. The i.word field that
is being selected is actually unnecessary. It is cruft from during
development.
I think the following will work:
$query = "SELECT i.type, i.sid, SUM(i.score/t.count) AS score FROM
{search_index} i $join INNER JOIN {search_total} t ON i.word = t.word
WHERE $where GROUP BY i.type, i.sid ORDER BY score DESC";
