Nice catch. There was a bug in the original metaphone algorithm from CPAN. Patch attached (while I was at it I updated my email address, changed the copyright to PGDG, and removed an unnecessary palloc). Here's how it looks now: regression=# select metaphone(a,4) from (select 'A A COMEAUX MEMORIAL'::varchar AS a) a; metaphone ----------- AKMK (1 row) regression=# select metaphone(a,5) from (select 'A A COMEAUX MEMORIAL'::varchar AS a) a; metaphone ----------- AKMKS (1 row) Joe Conway	23 years ago
Tom Lane	f85f43dfb5	Backend support for autocommit removed, per recent discussions. The only remnant of this failed experiment is that the server will take SET AUTOCOMMIT TO ON. Still TODO: provide some client-side autocommit logic in libpq.	23 years ago
Tom Lane	e4704001ea	This patch fixes a bunch of spelling mistakes in comments throughout the PostgreSQL source code. Neil Conway	23 years ago
Bruce Momjian	aa4c702eac	Update /contrib for "autocommit TO 'on'". Create objects in public schema. Make spacing/capitalization consistent. Remove transaction block use for object creation. Remove unneeded function GRANTs.	24 years ago
Tom Lane	c0edc53a36	The attached adds GRANTs to PUBLIC for contrib/fuzzystringmatch. Joe Conway	24 years ago
Tom Lane	52c9d25933	Be careful to include postgres.h before any system headers, to ensure that the right flavors of largefile-related definitions are seen. Most of these changes are probably unnecessary, but better safe than sorry.	24 years ago
Tom Lane	ee051baeac	Make sure that all <ctype.h> routines are called with unsigned char values; it's not portable to call them with signed chars. I recall doing this for the last release, but a few more uncasted calls have snuck in.	24 years ago
Bruce Momjian	ea08e6cd55	New pgindent run with fixes suggested by Tom. Patch manually reviewed, initdb/regression tests pass.	24 years ago
Bruce Momjian	cd01c32f55	Add trailing semicolon for Joe Conway	24 years ago
Bruce Momjian	b81844b173	pgindent run on all C files. Java run to follow. initdb/regression tests pass.	24 years ago
Bruce Momjian	fde8edaf53	Add do { ... } while (0) to more bad macros.	24 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	17cc78ef01	To fix the perpetually broken makefiles in the contrib tree, I have written a generic framework of rules that the contrib makefiles can use instead of writing their own each time. You only need to set a few variables and off you go.	25 years ago
Bruce Momjian	cdd02cdf00	Sorry - I should have gotten to this sooner. Here's a patch which you should be able to apply against what you just committed. It rolls soundex into fuzzystrmatch. Remove soundex/metaphone and merge into fuzzystrmatch. Joe Conway	25 years ago
Bruce Momjian	d8783c512e	Per this discussion, here's a patch to implement both levenshtein() and metaphone() in a contrib. There seem to be a fair number of different approaches to both of these algorithms. I used the simplest case for levenshtein which has a cost of 1 for any character insertion, deletion, or substitution. For metaphone, I adapted the same code from CPAN that the PHP folks did. A couple of questions: 1. Does it make sense to fold the soundex contrib together with this one? 2. I was debating trying to add multibyte support to levenshtein (it would make no sense at all for metaphone), but a quick search through the contrib directory found no hits on the word MULTIBYTE. Should worry about adding multibyte support to levenshtein()? Joe Conway	25 years ago
