on Alpha (because parser mistakenly assumes that a nonoverflow result
from strtol means the value will fit into int4). A scan for other uses
of strtol and strtoul found a couple other places with the same mistake;
fix them too. The changes are all conditional on HAVE_LONG_INT_64 to
avoid complaints from compilers that think x != x is a silly test
(cf. pg_atoi).
in Turkish locale. Keywords are now checked under pure ASCII case-folding
rules ('A'-'Z'->'a'-'z' and nothing else). However, once a word is
determined not to be a keyword, it will be case-folded under the current
locale, same as before. See pghackers discussion 20-Feb-01.
position() and substring() functions, so that it works transparently for
bit types as well. Alias the text functions appropriately.
Add position() for bit types.
Add new constant node T_BitString that represents literals of the form
B'1001 and pass those to zpbit type.
Include updates for the comment.sql regression test.
Implement SET SESSION CHARACTERISTICS and SET DefaultXactIsoLevel.
Implement SET SESSION CHARACTERISTICS TRANSACTION COMMIT
and SET AutoCommit in the parser only.
Need to add code to actually do something.
Implement WITHOUT TIME ZONE type qualifier.
Define SCHEMA keyword, along with stubbed-out grammar.
Implement "[IN|INOUT|OUT] [varname] type" function arguments
in parser only; INOUT and OUT throws an elog(ERROR).
Add PATH as a type-specific token, since PATH is in SQL99
to support schema resource search and resolution.
we'll get there one day.
Use `cat' to create aclocal.m4, not `aclocal'. Some people don't
have automake installed.
Only run the autoconf rule in the top-level GNUmakefile if the
invoker specified `make configure', don't run it automatically
because of CVS timestamp skew.
16-Mar-00: trailing + or - is not part of the operator unless the operator
also contains characters not present in SQL92-defined operators. This
solves the 'X=-Y' problem without unduly constraining users' choice of
operator names --- in particular, no existing Postgres operator names
become invalid.
Also, remove processing of // comments, as agreed in the same thread.
YY_READ_BUF_SIZE, which turns out to have nothing to do with buffer size.
It's just a totally arbitrary upper limit on how much data myinput() is
asked for at one time.
per pghackers discussion around 20-Feb. Also add specific error messages
for unterminated comments and unterminated quoted strings. These things
are nonissues for input coming from psql, but they do matter for input
coming from other front ends.
integers) to be strings instead of 'double'. We convert from string form
to internal representation only after type resolution has determined the
correct type for the constant. This eliminates loss-of-precision worries
and gets rid of the change in behavior seen at 17 digits with the
previous kluge.
equivalent now, which should make Windows and Mac clients happier.
Also fix failure to handle SQL comments between segments of a multiline
quoted literal.
boundary-condition bug in myinput() which caused flex scanner to fail
on tokens larger than a bufferload. Turns out flex doesn't want null-
terminated input ... and if it gives you a 1-character buffer, you'd
better supply a character, not a null, lest you be thought to be
reporting end of input.
behavior as it was, apart from forbidding minus-terminated
operators. Seems that I have to break the habit of doing before
thinking properly :-/ The point is that my second patch breaks
constructs like a & b or a ! b. This patch is to be applied
instead of any of two other today's patches.

corrects flex myinput() routine so that it doesn't assume there is only
one bufferload of data. We still have the issue of getting rid of
YY_USES_REJECT so that the scanner can cope with tokens larger than its
initial buffer size.
been applied. The patches are in the .tar.gz attachment at the end:
varchar-array.patch this patch adds support for arrays of bpchar() and
varchar(), which where always missing from postgres.
These datatypes can be used to replace the _char4,
_char8, etc., which were dropped some time ago.
block-size.patch this patch fixes many errors in the parser and other
program which happen with very large query statements
(> 8K) when using a page size larger than 8192.
This patch is needed if you want to submit queries
larger than 8K. Postgres supports tuples up to 32K
but you can't insert them because you can't submit
queries larger than 8K. My patch fixes this problem.
The patch also replaces all the occurrences of `8192'
and `1<<13' in the sources with the proper constants
defined in include files. You should now never find
8192 hardwired in C code, just to make code clearer.

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.
