25745b6d52 Minor markup change. 1998-05-09 22:23:38 +00:00
Bruce Momjian
edbd51395c What I've done:
1. Rewritten libpq to allow asynchronous clients.

2. Implemented client side of cancel protocol in library,
   and patched psql.c to send a cancel request upon SIGINT.  The
   backend doesn't notice it yet :-(

3. Implemented 'Z' protocol message addition and renaming of
   copy in/out start messages.  These are implemented conditionally,
   ie, the client protocol version is checked; so the code should
   still work with 1.0 clients.

4. Revised protocol and libpq sgml documents (don't have an SGML
   compiler, though, so there may be some markup glitches here).


What remains to be done:

1. Implement addition of atttypmod field to RowDescriptor messages.
   The client-side code is there but ifdef'd out.  I have no idea
   what to change on the backend side.  The field should be sent
   only if protocol >= 2.0, of course.

2. Implement backend response to cancel requests received as OOB
   messages.  (This prolly need not be conditional on protocol
   version; just do it if you get SIGURG.)

3. Update libpq.3.  (I'm hoping this can be generated mechanically
   from libpq.sgml... if not, will do it by hand.)  Is there any
   other doco to fix?

4. Update non-libpq interfaces as necessary.  I patched libpgtcl
   so that it would compile, but haven't tested it.  Dunno what
   needs to be done with the other interfaces.

Have at it!

Hi, here are patches I promised (against 6.3.2):

* character_length(), position(), substring() are now aware of
          multi-byte characters
* add octet_length()
* add --with-mb option to configure
* new regression tests for EUC_KR
  (contributed by "Soonmyung. Hong" <hong@lunaris.hanmesoft.co.kr>)
* add some test cases to the EUC_JP regression test
* fix problem in regress/regress.sh in case of System V
* fix toupper(), tolower() to handle 8bit chars

note that:

o  patches for both configure.in and configure are
included. maybe the one for configure is not necessary.

o pg_proc.h was modified to add octet_length(). I used OIDs
(1374-1379) for that. Please let me know if these numbers are not
appropriate.

Ok, I have finally gotten all of the defines for Dec/Alpha and
Linux/Alpha sorted out as Marc asked. There is no longer any need for
'-Dalpha' or '-Dlinuxalpha' in either the Dec/Alpha or the Linux/Alpha
template files (./src/template/{alpha,linuxalpha}). I have replaced every
instance of 'alpha' or '__alpha__' with '__alpha', as that appears to be
the common symbol between C compilers on both operating systems (RH4.2 &
DecUnix 4.0b) for alpha.

661ecf3c48 From: t-ishii@sra.co.jp
Included are patches intended for allowing PostgreSQL to handle
multi-byte charachter sets such as EUC(Extende Unix Code), Unicode and
Mule internal code. With the MB patch you can use multi-byte character
sets in regexp and LIKE. The encoding system chosen is determined at
the compile time.

To enable the MB extension, you need to define a variable "MB" in
Makefile.global or in Makefile.custom. For further information please
take a look at README.mb under doc directory.

(Note that unlike "jp patch" I do not use modified GNU regexp any
more. I changed Henry Spencer's regexp coming with PostgreSQL.)
