Bruce Momjian	a7ad43cd18	Included patches make some enhancements to the multi-byte support. ... o allow to use Big5 (a Chinese encoding used in Taiwan) as a client encoding. In this case the server side encoding should be EUC_TW o add EUC_TW and Big5 test cases to the regression and the mb test (contributed by Jonah Kuo) o fix mistake in include/mb/pg_wchar.h. An encoding id for EUC_TW was not correct (was 3 and now is 4) o update documents (doc/README.mb and README.mb.jp) o update psql helpfile (bin/psql/psqlHelp.h) -- Tatsuo Ishii t-ishii@sra.co.jp	27 years ago

Bruce Momjian	cb7cbc16fa	Hi, here are the patches to enhance existing MB handling. This time ... 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	28 years ago
Marc G. Fournier	f554af0a9f	From: t-ishii@sra.co.jp ... 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" <hong@lunaris.hanmesoft.co.kr>) * 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.	28 years ago
Marc G. Fournier	661ecf3c48	From: t-ishii@sra.co.jp ... 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.)	28 years ago
