no longer returns buffer pointer, can be gotten from scan;
	descriptor; bootstrap can create multi-key indexes;
pg_procname index now is multi-key index; oidint2, oidint4, oidname
are gone (must be removed from regression tests); use System Cache
rather than sequential scan in many places; heap_modifytuple no
longer takes buffer parameter; remove unused buffer parameter in
a few other functions; oid8 is not index-able; remove some use of
single-character variable names; cleanup Buffer variables usage
and scan descriptor looping; cleaned up allocation and freeing of
tuples; 18k lines of diff;

As Bruce mentioned, this is due to the conflict among changes we made.
Included patches should fix the problem(I changed all MB to
MULTIBYTE). Please let me know if you have further problem.

P.S. I did not include pathces to configure and gram.c to save the
file size(configure.in and gram.y modified).

\d? results in one query. Add \d? field search feature.  Rename MB
to MULTIBYTE.

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.

Attached you'll find a (big) patch that fixes make dep and make
depend in all Makefiles where I found it to be appropriate.

It also removes the dependency in Makefile.global for NAMEDATALEN
and OIDNAMELEN by making backend/catalog/genbki.sh and bin/initdb/initdb.sh
a little smarter.

This no longer requires initdb.sh that is turned into initdb with
a sed script when installing Postgres, hence initdb.sh should be
renamed to initdb (after the patch has been applied :-) )

This patch is against the 6.3 sources, as it took a while to
complete.

Please review and apply,

Cheers,

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...

        select  from  a  table  with  attrs  (a  int, b char(20))
        crashed in bpcharout() (palloc of -1 bytes). But a  table
        with attrs (a int, b varchar(20)) worked.

calls.

varchar length.

Cleans up code so attlen is always length.

Removed varchar() hack added earlier.

Will fix bug in selecting varchar() fields, and varchar() can be
variable length.

   One  of  the design rules of PostgreSQL is extensibility. And
   to follow this rule means (at least for me) that there should
   not  only  be a builtin PL.  Instead I would prefer a defined
   interface for PL implemetations.

some of the ports...

	Essentially, this cleans things up so that if PORTNAME isn't defined (I'm
    working on getting rid of it for FreeBSD, at least, to see if its possible)
    none of the PORTNAME related stuff gets passed around.

	Had a little bit of -I related redundancy as well
