Bruce Momjian e3d7de6b99 Rename canonical encodings, per Peter:
UNICODE => UTF8
	ALT => WIN866
	WIN => WIN1251
	TCVN => WIN1258

The old codes continue to work.

Bruce Momjian a7ad43cd18 Included patches make some enhancements to the multi-byte support.
o allow to use Big5 (a Chinese encoding used in Taiwan) as a client
  encoding. In this case the server side encoding should be EUC_TW

o add EUC_TW and Big5 test cases to the regression and the mb test
  (contributed by Jonah Kuo)

o fix mistake in include/mb/pg_wchar.h. An encoding id for EUC_TW was
  not correct (was 3 and now is 4)

o update documents (doc/README.mb and README.mb.jp)

o update psql helpfile (bin/psql/psqlHelp.h)

Marc G. Fournier bf00bbb0c4 I really hope that I haven't missed anything in this one...
From: t-ishii@sra.co.jp

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.

Bruce Momjian cb7cbc16fa Hi, here are the patches to enhance existing MB handling. This time
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.

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.

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.)
