if MULTIBYTE is not enabled. So be sure to run initdb.
o these patches are made against the latest source tree (after
Bruce's massive patch, I think) BTW, I noticed that after running
regression, the oid field of pg_type seems disappeared.
regression=> select oid from pg_type; ERROR: attribute
'oid' not found
this happens after the constraints test. This occures with/without
my patches. strange...
o pg_database_mb.h, pg_class_mb.h, pg_attribute_mb.h are no longer
used, and shoud be removed.
o GetDatabaseInfo() in utils/misc/database.c removed (actually in
#ifdef 0). seems nobody uses.

is a working 64-bit-int type available.
In playing around with it on my machine, I found that gcc provides
perfectly fine support for "long long" arithmetic ... but sprintf()
and sscanf(), which are system-supplied, don't work :-(. So the
autoconf test program does a cursory test on them too.
If we find that a lot of systems are like this, it might be worth
the trouble to implement binary<->ASCII conversion of int64 ourselves
rather than relying on sprintf/sscanf to handle the data type.

no longer returns buffer pointer, can be gotten from scan;
descriptor; bootstrap can create multi-key indexes;
pg_procname index now is multi-key index; oidint2, oidint4, oidname
are gone (must be removed from regression tests); use System Cache
rather than sequential scan in many places; heap_modifytuple no
longer takes buffer parameter; remove unused buffer parameter in
a few other functions; oid8 is not index-able; remove some use of
single-character variable names; cleanup Buffer variables usage
and scan descriptor looping; cleaned up allocation and freeing of
tuples; 18k lines of diff;
in constraint clauses.
IN and NOT IN only allow constaints, not subselects.
Jose' Soares' new reference docs pointed out the discrepency.
Updating the docs too...
From: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Attached is a patch for this weekend's work on libpq. I've dealt
with several issues:
<for details: see message, in pgsql-patches archive for above data>
Bracket things with #ifdef ENABLE_LINE_TYPE.
The line data type has always been used internally to support other types,
but I/O routines have never been defined for it.
indices for restriction clauses containing a constant.
Note that if an index does not match directly (usually because the types
on both side of the clause don't match), and if a binary-compatible index
is identified, then the operator function will be replaced by a new
one. Should not be a problem, but be sure that if types are listed as
being binary compatible (in parse_coerce.h) then the comparison functions
are also binary-compatible, giving equivalent results.
functions btrim() ltrim() and rtrim().
The error was that the character after the set was included
in the tests (ptr2 pointed to the character after the vardata
part of set if no match found, so comparing *ptr or *end
against *ptr2 MAY match -> strip).

I have attached a patch to allow GROUP BY and/or ORDER BY function or
expressions. Note worthy items:
1. The expression or function need not be in the target list.
Example:
SELECT name FROM foo GROUP BY lower(name);
2. Simplified the grammar to use expressions only.
3. Cleaned up earlier patch in this area to make use of existing
utility functions.
3. Reduced some of the members in the SortGroupBy parse node. The
original data members were redundant with the new expression node.
(MUST do a "make clean" now)
4. Added a new parse node "JoinUsing". The JOIN USING clause was
overloading this SortGroupBy structure. With the afore mentioned
reduction of members, the two clauses lost all their commonality.
5. A bug still exist where, if a function or expression is GROUPed BY,
and an aggregate function does not include a attribute from the
expression or function, the backend crashes. (or something like
that) The bug pre-dates this patch. Example:
SELECT lower(a) AS lowcase, count(b) FROM foo GROUP BY lowcase;
*** BOOM ***
--Also when not in target list
SELECT count(b) FROM foo GROUP BY lower(a);
*** BOOM AGAIN ***
There are three or four cases in transformSortClause() and I had fixed
only one case for UNION. A second case is now fixed, in the same way; I
assigned INT4OID to the column type for the "won't actually happen"
sort. Didn't want to skip the code entirely, since the backend needs to
_try_ a sort to get the NULLs right. I'm not certain under what
circumstances the other cases are invoked and these are not yet
fixed up, though perhaps they don't need to be...
