Tom Lane 95cacd1345 Use a non-locale-dependent definition of isspace() in array_in/array_out. array_in discards unquoted leading and trailing whitespace in array values, while array_out is careful to quote array elements that contain whitespace. This is problematic when the definition of "whitespace" varies between locales: array_in could drop characters that were meant to be part of the value. To avoid that, lock down "whitespace" to mean only the traditional six ASCII space characters. This change also works around a bug in OS X and some older BSD systems, in which isspace() could return true for character fragments in UTF8 locales. (There may be other places in PG where that bug could cause problems, but this is the only one complained of so far; see recent report from Steven Schlansker.) Back-patch to 9.0, but not further. Given the lack of previous reports of trouble, changing this behavior in stable branches seems to offer more risk of breaking applications than reward of avoiding problems.		2010-08-21 16:55:51 +00:00

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
