I have attached a patch to allow GROUP BY and/or ORDER BY function or
expressions. Note worthy items:
1. The expression or function need not be in the target list.
Example:
SELECT name FROM foo GROUP BY lower(name);
2. Simplified the grammar to use expressions only.
3. Cleaned up earlier patch in this area to make use of existing
utility functions.
3. Reduced some of the members in the SortGroupBy parse node. The
original data members were redundant with the new expression node.
(MUST do a "make clean" now)
4. Added a new parse node "JoinUsing". The JOIN USING clause was
overloading this SortGroupBy structure. With the afore mentioned
reduction of members, the two clauses lost all their commonality.
5. A bug still exist where, if a function or expression is GROUPed BY,
and an aggregate function does not include a attribute from the
expression or function, the backend crashes. (or something like
that) The bug pre-dates this patch. Example:
SELECT lower(a) AS lowcase, count(b) FROM foo GROUP BY lowcase;
*** BOOM ***
--Also when not in target list
SELECT count(b) FROM foo GROUP BY lower(a);
*** BOOM AGAIN ***
I have implemented a framework of encoding translation between the
backend and the frontend. Also I have added a new variable setting
command:
SET CLIENT_ENCODING TO 'encoding';
Other features include:
Latin1 support more 8 bit cleaness
See doc/README.mb for more details. Note that the pacthes are
against May 30 snapshot.

Add additional tests in strings for conversions of the "name" data type.
Test SQL92 string functions such as SUBSTRING() and POSITION().
Fix geometry tests to reflect code fixed by Gautam.
Update error messages.
Everything (except of course random) passes on my netbsd box except int2,
int4, oidint2, and oidint4; all fail because of error message differences.
Below are some patches to the expectations to correct the problem by creating
*-NetBSD.out files.
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.
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.)
I thought it would be a good idea to ensure that the new view
permission model will not get broken by subsequent
fixes/changes. So I wrote a little regression test for it.
There is an ugly thing in this regression test. It creates
temporary a test user that is required for the tests. The
user is removed at the end of the test, but if sometimes the
regression suite is aborted or crashes exactly here, the test
user will lay around in the pg_shadow. Don't have a clue how
to get around.
if an operating specific expected file exists, use that for the comparison.
This allows for "legit" differences between results, like the "Result too
large" message vs "Math result not representable" ...
Also, have the failed diffs get output to regression.diffs so that its easy to
view those tests that failed
