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).

I missed addding initdb.sh ...

statements.  More cleanups of psql help.  Fix for shift/reduce on
UNION in subselect.

I really hope that I haven't missed anything in this one...

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.

of days --- it was emitting stuff like
	REVOKE ALL on 'table' from PUBLIC; GRANT ALL on "table" to
	"Public"; neither of which work.  While I was at it I
cleaned up a few other things:

* \connect commands are issued only in -z mode.  In this way,
reloading a pg_dump script made without -z will generate a simple
database wholly owned by the invoking user, rather than a mishmash
of tables owned by various people but lacking in access rights.
(Analogy: cp versus cp -p.)

* \connect commands are issued just before COPY FROM stdin commands;
without this, reloading a database containing non-world-writable
tables tended to fail because the COPY was not necessarily attempted
as the table owner.

* Redundant \connect commands are suppressed (each one costs a
backend launch, so...).

* Man page updated (-z wasn't ever documented).

The first two items were discussed in a pgsql-hackers thread around
6 May 98 ("An item for the TODO list: pg_dump and multiple table
owners") but no one had bothered to deal with 'em yet.

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

From: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>

I see someone missed an ancient bit of shell-scripting lore:
on some older shells, if your script's argument list is empty,
then "$@" generates an empty-string word rather than no word
at all.  You need to write ${1+"$@"} to get the latter behavior.
(Read your shell man page to see exactly how that works,
but it does the Right Thing on every Bourne shell.)

In particular, pg_dumpall fails when invoked without any switches
on HPUX 9.*, because pg_dump gets an empty-string argument that it
thinks is the name of the database to dump.  I expect this bug
also affects some other OSes, but couldn't tell you just which ones.
Patch attached.

From: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>

Making PQrequestCancel safe to call in a signal handler turned out to be
much easier than I feared.  So here are the diffs.

Some notes:
  * I modified the postmaster's packet "iodone" callback interface to allow
    the callback routine to return a continue-or-drop-connection return
    code; this was necessary to allow the connection to be closed after
    receiving a Cancel, rather than proceeding to launch a new backend...
    Being a neatnik, I also made the iodone proc have a typechecked
    parameter list.
  * I deleted all code I could find that had to do with OOB.
  * I made some edits to ensure that all signals mentioned in the code
    are referred to symbolically not by numbers ("SIGUSR2" not "2").
    I think Bruce may have already done at least some of the same edits;
    I hope that merging these patches is not too painful.

 in generated SQL code to preserve case (SQL92 syntax).

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.

syntax that can be read back in with psql.  I did this by adding
a
 "-c" switch that controls moving the CONTSTRAINT statements inside
the CREATE TABLE statements and adding () around the CHECK arguments.
Here's diffs against the 6.3.2 version of pg_dump.c.

ccb

psql in Postgres 6.3.2.  Both of these problems were complained of
recently in pgsql-questions:

1. In the right circumstances, psql.c will fail to compile due to
trying
   to include a nonexistent <history.h>.  (Thread "Compile-time
   error" around 17 Apr 98.) 2. In other circumstances, psql will
compile but does not provide
   command history capability, even though the underlying readline
   library supports it.  (Various threads, most recently "query
   repetition in psql" around 29 Apr.)

Tom Lane

and allow CUSTOM_COPT to appear in compile AND LINK commands.

code that I had assumed was working had not been tested.  Naturally,
it was broken ...

Tom Lane

1. Rewritten libpq to allow asynchronous clients.

2. Implemented client side of cancel protocol in library,
   and patched psql.c to send a cancel request upon SIGINT.  The
   backend doesn't notice it yet :-(

3. Implemented 'Z' protocol message addition and renaming of
   copy in/out start messages.  These are implemented conditionally,
   ie, the client protocol version is checked; so the code should
   still work with 1.0 clients.

4. Revised protocol and libpq sgml documents (don't have an SGML
   compiler, though, so there may be some markup glitches here).


What remains to be done:

1. Implement addition of atttypmod field to RowDescriptor messages.
   The client-side code is there but ifdef'd out.  I have no idea
   what to change on the backend side.  The field should be sent
   only if protocol >= 2.0, of course.

2. Implement backend response to cancel requests received as OOB
   messages.  (This prolly need not be conditional on protocol
   version; just do it if you get SIGURG.)

3. Update libpq.3.  (I'm hoping this can be generated mechanically
   from libpq.sgml... if not, will do it by hand.)  Is there any
   other doco to fix?

4. Update non-libpq interfaces as necessary.  I patched libpgtcl
   so that it would compile, but haven't tested it.  Dunno what
   needs to be done with the other interfaces.

Have at it!

Tom Lane

confused.

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,

Jeroen van Vianen

probleme number 1 :

- configure can find the library readline , but don't
  find the header file . so in this case we don't use lib readline
  .

probleme number 2 :

- when you have postgres 6.2.1 and readline installed
  with the same prefix( and generally all your software ) .  you
  can compile the version 6.3 .  I use this prefix , when configure
  ask me for "Additional directories to search for include files"
  .

  ( because there a conflict in the header when you
    compile psql.c ) In this case, you must permut the sequence of
  directive -I .

yyerror ones from bison. It also includes a few 'enhancements' to
the C programming style (which are, of course, personal).

The other patch removes the compilation of backend/lib/qsort.c, as
qsort() is a standard function in stdlib.h and can be used any
where else (and it is). It was only used in
backend/optimizer/geqo/geqo_pool.c, backend/optimizer/path/predmig.c,
and backend/storage/page/bufpage.c

There's more to come. Please review these patches. I ran the
regression tests and they only failed where this was expected
(random, geo, etc).
