if MULTIBYTE is not enabled. So be sure to run initdb.
o these patches are made against the latest source tree (after
Bruce's massive patch, I think) BTW, I noticed that after running
regression, the oid field of pg_type seems disappeared.
regression=> select oid from pg_type; ERROR: attribute
'oid' not found
this happens after the constraints test. This occures with/without
my patches. strange...
o pg_database_mb.h, pg_class_mb.h, pg_attribute_mb.h are no longer
used, and shoud be removed.
o GetDatabaseInfo() in utils/misc/database.c removed (actually in
#ifdef 0). seems nobody uses.
t-ishii@sra.co.jp
no longer returns buffer pointer, can be gotten from scan;
descriptor; bootstrap can create multi-key indexes;
pg_procname index now is multi-key index; oidint2, oidint4, oidname
are gone (must be removed from regression tests); use System Cache
rather than sequential scan in many places; heap_modifytuple no
longer takes buffer parameter; remove unused buffer parameter in
a few other functions; oid8 is not index-able; remove some use of
single-character variable names; cleanup Buffer variables usage
and scan descriptor looping; cleaned up allocation and freeing of
tuples; 18k lines of diff;
As Bruce mentioned, this is due to the conflict among changes we made.
Included patches should fix the problem(I changed all MB to
MULTIBYTE). Please let me know if you have further problem.
P.S. I did not include pathces to configure and gram.c to save the
file size(configure.in and gram.y modified).

Attached are patches to enhance the multi-byte support. (patches are
against 7/18 snapshot)
* determine encoding at initdb/createdb rather than compile time
Now initdb/createdb has an option to specify the encoding. Also, I
modified the syntax of CREATE DATABASE to accept encoding option. See
README.mb for more details.
For this purpose I have added new column "encoding" to pg_database.
Also pg_attribute and pg_class are changed to catch up the
modification to pg_database. Actually I haved added pg_database_mb.h,
pg_attribute_mb.h and pg_class_mb.h. These are used only when MB is
enabled. The reason having separate files is I couldn't find a way to
use ifdef or whatever in those files. I have to admit it looks
ugly. No way.
* support for PGCLIENTENCODING when issuing COPY command
commands/copy.c modified.
* support for SQL92 syntax "SET NAMES"
See gram.y.
* support for LATIN2-5
* add UNICODE regression test case
* new test suite for MB
New directory test/mb added.
* clean up source files
Basic idea is to have MB's own subdirectory for easier maintenance.
These are include/mb and backend/utils/mb.
As mentioned around line 1153 in backend/commands/copy.c, the method
of array checking is not perfect.
test=> create table t1 (i text);
test=> insert into t1 values('{\\.}');
INSERT 2645600 1
test=> select * from t1;
i
-----
{\\.}
(2 rows)
test=> copy t1 to '/tmp/aaa';
test=> copy t1 from '/tmp/aaa';
ERROR: CopyReadAttribute - end of record marker corrupted
Copy cannot read data produced by itself!
yyerror ones from bison. It also includes a few 'enhancements' to
the C programming style (which are, of course, personal).
The other patch removes the compilation of backend/lib/qsort.c, as
qsort() is a standard function in stdlib.h and can be used any
where else (and it is). It was only used in
backend/optimizer/geqo/geqo_pool.c, backend/optimizer/path/predmig.c,
and backend/storage/page/bufpage.c

There's more to come. Please review these patches. I ran the
regression tests and they only failed where this was expected
(random, geo, etc).

seems that my last post didn't make it through. That's good
since the diff itself didn't covered the renaming of
pg_user.h to pg_shadow.h and it's new content.
Here it's again. The complete regression test passwd with
only some float diffs. createuser and destroyuser work.
pg_shadow cannot be read by ordinary user.
varchar length.
Cleans up code so attlen is always length.
Removed varchar() hack added earlier.
Will fix bug in selecting varchar() fields, and varchar() can be
variable length.

One of the design rules of PostgreSQL is extensibility. And
to follow this rule means (at least for me) that there should
not only be a builtin PL. Instead I would prefer a defined
interface for PL implemetations.
Subject: [HACKERS] better access control error messages
This patch replaces the 'no such class or insufficient privilege' with
distinct error messages that tell you whether the table really doesn't
exist or whether access was denied.
Changes:
* Unique index capability works using the syntax 'create unique
index'.
* Duplicate OID's in the system tables are removed. I put
little scripts called 'duplicate_oids' and 'find_oid' in
include/catalog that help to find and remove duplicate OID's.
I also moved 'unused_oids' from backend/catalog to
include/catalog, since it has to be in the same directory
as the include files in order to work.
* The backend tries converting the name of a function or aggregate
to all lowercase if the original name given doesn't work (mostly
for compatibility with ODBC).
* You can 'SELECT NULL' to your heart's content.
* I put my _bt_updateitem fix in instead, which uses
_bt_insertonpg so that even if the new key is so big that
the page has to be split, everything still works.
* All literal references to system catalog OID's have been
replaced with references to define'd constants from the catalog
header files.
* I added a couple of node copy functions. I think this was a
preliminary attempt to get rules to work.
It adds a WITH OIDS option to the copy command, which allows
dumping and loading of oids.
If a copy command tried to load in an oid that is greater than
its current system max oid, the system max oid is incremented. No
checking is done to see if other backends are running and have cached
oids.
pg_dump as its first step when using the -o (oid) option, will
copy in a dummy row to set the system max oid value so as rows are
loaded in, they are certain to be lower than the system oid.
pg_dump now creates indexes at the end to speed loading

pg_dump and load to 2.0. I haven't gotten any feedback on whether
people want it, so I am submitting it for others to decide. I would
recommend an install in 1.02.1.
I had said that the 2.0 pg_dump could dump a 1.02.1 database, but I was
wrong. The copy is actually performed by the backend, and the 2.0
database will not be able to read 1.02.1 databases because of the new
system columns.
This patch does several things. It copies nulls out as \N, so they can
be distinguished from '' strings. It fixes a problem where backslashes
in the input stream were not output as double-backslashes. Without this
patch, backslashes copied out were deleted upon input, or interpreted as
special characters. Third, input is now terminated by backslash-period.
This can not be part of a normal input stream.
I tested this by creating a database with all sorts of nulls, backslash,
and period fields and dumped the database and reloaded into a new
database and compared them.
