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.
1. Removes the unnecessary "#define AbcRegProcedure 123"'s from
pg_proc.h.
2. Changes those #defines to use the names already defined in
fmgr.h.
3. Forces the make of fmgr.h in backend/Makefile instead of having
it
made as a dependency in access/common/Makefile *hack*hack*hack*
4. Rearranged the #includes to a less helter-skelter arrangement,
also
changing <file.h> to "file.h" to signify a non-system header.
5. Removed "pg_proc.h" from files where its only purpose was for
the
#defines removed in item #1.
6. Added "fmgr.h" to each file changed for completeness sake.
Turns out that #6 was not necessary for some files because fmgr.h
was being included in a roundabout way SIX levels deep by the first
include.
"access/genam.h"
->"access/relscan.h"
->"utils/rel.h"
->"access/strat.h"
->"access/skey.h"
->"fmgr.h"
So adding fmgr.h really didn't add anything to the compile, hopefully
just made it clearer to the programmer.

probleme number 1 :
- configure can find the library readline , but don't
find the header file . so in this case we don't use lib readline
.
probleme number 2 :
- when you have postgres 6.2.1 and readline installed
with the same prefix( and generally all your software ) . you
can compile the version 6.3 . I use this prefix , when configure
ask me for "Additional directories to search for include files"
.
( because there a conflict in the header when you
compile psql.c ) In this case, you must permut the sequence of
directive -I .

2) Add "#define gettimeofday(a,b) gettimeofday(a) to src/include/config.h
On the 88k SVR4, gettimeofday only has one argument. This is
checked for in a few other packages by configure, so there should
be some examples of the configure test out there.
1. Remove the char2, char4, char8 and char16 types from postgresql
2. Change references of char16 to name in the regression tests.
3. Rename the char16.sql regression test to name.sql. 4. Modify
the regression test scripts and outputs to match up.
Might require new regression.{SYSTEM} files...

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.)
Patch1:
Postgres thinks dist_pl (dist of a point to a line) is expecting a box (603)
for the right arg, but it really should be a line (628).
Otherwise the left & right args match those of dist_pb (dist of a point to a
box) two lines further down.
Patch2:
Anyways, these two functions take a path (602) whereas in pg_proc.h they are
listed as taking a lseg (601).
The following patches will allow postgreSQL 6.3 to compile and run on a
UNIXWARE 2.1.2 system with the native C compiler with the following library
change:
The alloca function must be copied from the libucb.a archive and added
to the libgen.a archive.
Also, the GNU flex program is needed to successfully build postgreSQL.
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.
What it does:
It solves stupid problem with cyrillic charsets IP-based on-fly recoding.
take a look at /data/charset.conf for details.
You can use any tables for any charset.
Tables are from Russian Apache project.
Tables in this patch contains also Ukrainian characters.
Then run ./configure --enable-recode
Ok. I have decided to use:
#if defined(sun) && if defined(sparc) && !defined(__svr4)
instead of defined(sunos4). interfaces/libpq/libpq-fe.h and
include/c.h have been modified(see included patches).
Another porblems I have found are:
o SunOS lacks strtoul(). to fix this I stole strtoul.c from FreeBSD
and place it under backend/port. necessary modifications have been
also made to backend/port/Makefile.in, include/config.h.in and
configure.in (see included patches).
So if the relname is given to acldefault() in
utils/adt/acl.c, it can do a IsSystemRelationName() on it and
return ACL_RD instead of ACL_WORLD_DEFAULT.
The diff looks so simple and easy. But to find it wasn't fun.
It must have been there for a long time. What happened:
When a tuple in one of some central catalogs was updated, the
referenced relation got flushed, so it would be reopened on
the next access (to reflect new triggers, rules and table
structure changes into the relation cache).
Some data (the tupleDescriptor e.g.) is used in the system
cache too. So when a relation is subject to the system cache,
this must know too that a cached system relation got flushed
because the tupleDesc data gets freed during the flush!
For the GRANT/REVOKE on pg_class it was slightly different.
There is some local data in inval.c that gets initialized on
the first invalidation of a tuple in some central catalogs.
This needs a SysCache lookup in pg_class. But when the first
of all commands is a GRANT on pg_class, exactly the needed
tuple is the one actually invalidated. So I added little code
snippets that the initialization of the local variables in
inval.c will already happen during InitPostgres().
below is the patch to have views to override the permission
checks for the accessed tables. Now we can do the following:
CREATE VIEW db_user AS SELECT
usename,
usesysid,
usecreatedb,
usetrace,
usecatupd,
'**********'::text as passwd,
valuntil
FROM pg_user;
REVOKE ALL ON pg_user FROM public;
REVOKE ALL ON db_user FROM public;
GRANT SELECT ON db_user TO public;
dgux 5.4R4.11
Missing port-protos.h (not needed, I think). Wants dld.h. Should
really use the system dl stuff (like i386_solaris). Needs to include
<netinet/in.h> before <arpa/inet.h>. Here are some patches...
Only occurrs in
src/include/storage/s_lock.h:#if defined(__AIX)
src/include/utils/dt.h:#if defined(__AIX)
src/include/utils/nabstime.h:#if defined(__AIX)
Simply delete one underscore, only occurs once per file, so no patch.
Apart from this Makefile hack, all I've done is to make dynamically
loaded code modules fail properly (as was already done for __mips__,
although I think this is too loose: I believe NetBSD for the pmax can
do dynamic linking), and to add test-and-set lock handling. As Bruce
suggested, this is done in a maximally efficient inlined way: I was
not aware that this code was so important, speed-wise.
Define functions and operators for closest point to lseg on box,
to line on lseg, to lseg on lseg.
Define function and operator for length of lseg.
Change length operator from '??' to '@-@'
(currently defined for path and lseg).
I've completed the patch to fix the protocol and authentication issues I
was discussing a couple of weeks ago. The particular changes are:
- the protocol has a version number
- network byte order is used throughout
- the pg_hba.conf file is used to specify what method is used to
authenticate a frontend (either password, ident, trust, reject, krb4
or krb5)
- support for multiplexed backends is removed
- appropriate changes to man pages
- the -a switch to many programs to specify an authentication service
no longer has any effect
- the libpq.so version number has changed to 1.1
The new backend still supports the old protocol so old interfaces won't
break.
The attached patches will allow postgreSQL to compile successfully on SCO
UNIXWARE 2.1.x. The patches fix the following problems:
1. Configure did not properly recognize the UNIXWARE system as needing the
univel port. It used the sys4 port.
2. Configure did not properly process the CC flag in the template file.
3. There was no working test and set locking implementation for the native
UNIXWARE compiler.
4. The test and set locking used for Intel X86 that was selected by defining
NEED_I386_TAS_ASM could fail in a multi-processor environment.
5. The makefiles for libpq and libpgtcl did not make a shared library for
the univel port.
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.

Patch by: wieck@sapserv.debis.de (Jan Wieck)
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.
Pass List* of Aggregs into executor, and create needed array there.
No longer need to double-processs Aggregs with second copy in Query.
Fix crash when doing:
select sum(x+1) from test where 1 > 0;
==========================================
What follows is a set of diffs that cleans up the usage of BLCKSZ.
As a side effect, the person compiling the code can change the
value of BLCKSZ _at_their_own_risk_. By that, I mean that I've
tried it here at 4096 and 16384 with no ill-effects. A value
of 4096 _shouldn't_ affect much as far as the kernel/file system
goes, but making it bigger than 8192 can have severe consequences
if you don't know what you're doing. 16394 worked for me, _BUT_
when I went to 32768 and did an initdb, the SCSI driver broke and
the partition that I was running under went to hell in a hand
basket. Had to reboot and do a good bit of fsck'ing to fix things up.
The patch can be safely applied though. Just leave BLCKSZ = 8192
and everything is as before. It basically only cleans up all of the
references to BLCKSZ in the code.
If this patch is applied, a comment in the config.h file though above
the BLCKSZ define with warning about monkeying around with it would
be a good idea.
Darren darrenk@insightdist.com
(Also cleans up some of the #includes in files referencing BLCKSZ.)
==========================================
o A new patch that contains the following changes:
-- The pg_pwd file is now cached in the postmaster's memory.
-- pg_pwd is reloaded when the postmaster detects a flag file creat()'ed
by a backend.
-- qsort() is used to sort loaded password entries, and bsearch() is
is used to find entries in the pg_pwd cache.
-- backends now copy the pg_user relation to pg_pwd.pid, and then
rename the temp file to be pg_pwd.
-- The delimiter for pg_pwd has been changed to a tab character.
Makefile.global.
End result, if all goes well, should allow for much easier porting, since
there will no longer be a concept of a "port". Most, if not everything,
*should* be determined by configure, or by the compiler itself. Still
work to be done though :)
