1998-07-24I really hope that I haven't missed anything in this one...Marc G. Fournier
From: [email protected] 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.
1998-07-18Add auto-size to screen to \d? commands. Use UNION to show allBruce Momjian
\d? results in one query. Add \d? field search feature. Rename MB to MULTIBYTE.
1998-06-16Hi, here are the patches to enhance existing MB handling. This timeBruce Momjian
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. Tatsuo Ishii

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" <[email protected]>) * 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.)
