The original collation patch only fixed the multi-byte code path.
This change also ensures that ILIKE's idea of the case-folding rules
is exactly the same as str_tolower's.
end of the pattern: the code path that handles \ just after % should throw
error too. As in the previous patch, not back-patching for fear of breaking
apps that worked before.
for sure ;-)). It now also optimizes more cases, such as %_%_. Improve
comments too. Per bug #5478.
In passing, also rename the TCHAR macro to GETCHAR, because pgindent is
messing with the formatting of the former (apparently it now thinks TCHAR
is a typedef name).
Back-patch to 8.3, where the bug was introduced.
this case is worth a special code path, but a special code path that gets
the boundary condition wrong is definitely no good. Per bug #4821 from
Andrew Gierth.
In passing, clean up some minor code formatting issues (excess parentheses
and blank lines in odd places).
Back-patch to 8.3, where the bug was introduced.
(ie, has nothing to quote), rather than silently ignoring the character as has
been our historical behavior. This is required by SQL spec and should help
reduce the sort of user confusion seen in bug #4436. Per discussion.
This is not so much a bug fix as a definitional change, and it could break
existing applications; so not back-patched. It might deserve being mentioned
as an incompatibility in the 8.4 release notes.
to explicitly cast the output back to char before comparing it to a char
value, else we get the wrong result for high-bit-set characters. Found by
Rolf Jentsch. Also, fix several places where <ctype.h> functions were being
called without casting the argument to unsigned char; this is likewise
unportable, but we keep making that mistake :-(. These found by buildfarm
member salamander, which I will desperately miss if it ever goes belly-up.
character encodings that doesn't involve calling lower(). This should
cure the performance regression in this case complained of by Guillaume
Smet. It still leaves the horrid performance for multi-byte encodings
introduced in 8.2, but there's no obvious solution for that in sight.
to not cause needless copying of text datums that have 1-byte headers.

ITAGAKI Takahiro.
and most especially for UTF8. Remove unnecessary special cases for bytea
processing and single-byte charset ILIKE. a ILIKE b is now processed as
lower(a) LIKE lower(b) in all cases. The code is now considerably simpler. All
comparisons are now performed byte-wise, and the text and pattern are also
advanced byte-wise where it is safe to do so - essentially where a wildcard is
not being matched.
Andrew Dunstan, from an original patch by ITAGAKI Takahiro, with ideas from
Tom Lane and Mark Mielke.
Get rid of VARATT_SIZE and VARATT_DATA, which were simply redundant with
VARSIZE and VARDATA, and as a consequence almost no code was using the
longer names. Rename the length fields of struct varlena and various
derived structures to catch anyplace that was accessing them directly;
and clean up various places so caught. In itself this patch doesn't
change any behavior at all, but it is necessary infrastructure if we hope
to play any games with the representation of varlena headers.
