source the \copy came from. Also, fix prompting logic so that initial
and per-line prompts appear for all cases of reading from an interactive
terminal. Patch by Mark Feit, with some kibitzing by Tom Lane.
characters, as for fancy colorized prompts. This was nearly a direct
lift from bash-2.05b's lib/readline/display.c, per guidance from Chet Ramey.

psql4win32.patch - changes in the psql source code
psql-ref.patch - changes in the documentation psql-ref.sgml
(for new builtin variable WIN32_CONSOLE)
To apply them use "patch -p 1" in the root directory of the
postgres source directory.
These patches fix the following problems of psql on Win32
(all changes only have effect #ifdef WIN32):
a) Problem: Static library libpq.a did not work
Solution: Added WSAStartup() in fe-connect.c
b) Problem: Secret Password was echoed by psql
Solution: Password echoing disabled in sprompt.c
c) Problem: 8bit characters were displayed/interpreted wrong in psql
This is due to the fact that the Win32 "console" uses a
different encoding than the rest of the Windows system
Solution: Introduced a new psql variable WIN32_CONSOLE
When set with "\set WIN32_console", the function OemToChar()
is applied after reading input and CharToOem() before
displaying Output

client-side AUTOCOMMIT mode now: '\set AUTOCOMMIT off' supports
SQL-spec commit behavior. Get rid of LO_TRANSACTION hack --- the
LO operations just work now, using libpq's ability to track the
transaction status. Add a VERBOSE variable to control verboseness
of error message display, and add a %T prompt-string code to show
current transaction-block status. Superuser state display in the
prompt string correctly follows SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION commands.
Control-C works to get out of COPY IN state.
only remnant of this failed experiment is that the server will take
SET AUTOCOMMIT TO ON. Still TODO: provide some client-side autocommit
logic in libpq.
* Add schema, cast, and conversion backslash commands to psql
I had to create a new publically available function,
pg_conversion_is_visible, as it seemed to be missing from the catalogs.
This required me to do no small amount of hacking around in namespace.c
I have updated the \? help and sgml docs.
\dc - list conversions [PATTERN]
\dC - list casts
\dn list schemas
I didn't support patterns with casts as there's nothing obvious to match
against.
Catalog version incremented --- initdb required.

"traditional" behavior, so the change should be transparent. Use the
command "\pset pager always" to turn it on. Anything else does the
normal toggle between "on" and "off"

a column list. Bring its parsing of quoted names and quoted strings
somewhat up to speed --- I believe it now handles all non-error cases
the same way the backend would, but weird boundary conditions are not
necessarily done the same way.
