multibyte encodings.

tests pass.

Here's rev 2 of the bytea string support patch. Changes:

1. Added missing declaration for MatchBytea function
2. Added PQescapeBytea to fe-exec.c
3. Applies cleanly on cvs tip from this afternoon

I'm hoping that someone can review/approve/apply this before beta starts, so
I guess I'd vote (not that it counts for much) to delay beta a few days :-)

length is less than original string length.

values, whether the local char type is signed or not.  This is necessary
for portability.  Per discussion on pghackers around 9/16/00.

        - rename ichar() to chr() (discussed with Tom)

        - add docs for oracle compatible routines:

                btrim()
                ascii()
                chr()
                repeat()

        - fix bug with timezone in to_char()

        - all to_char() variants return NULL instead textin("")
          if it's needful.

 The contrib/odbc is without changes and contains same routines as main
tree ... because I not sure how plans are Thomas with this :-)

This effectively one line patch should fix the fact that
foreign key definitions in create table were erroring if
a primary key was defined.  I was using the columns
list to get the columns of the table for comparison, but
it got reused as a temporary list inside the primary key
stuff.

functions that take pass-by-value datatypes.  Should be ready for
port testing ...

Add a random number generator and seed setter (random(), SET SEED)
Fix up the interval*float8 math to carry partial months
 into the time field.
Add float8*interval so we have symmetry in the available math.
Fix the parser and define.c to accept SQL92 types as field arguments.
Fix the parser to accept SQL92 types for CREATE TYPE, etc. This is
 necessary to allow...
Bit/varbit support in contrib/bit cleaned up to compile and load
 cleanly. Still needs some work before final release.
Implement the "SOME" keyword as a synonym for "ANY" per SQL92.
Implement ascii(text), ichar(int4), repeat(text,int4) to help
 support the ODBC driver.
Enable the TRUNCATE() function mapping in the ODBC driver.

wrong pointer.

Implement TIME WITH TIME ZONE type (timetz internal type).
Remap length() for character strings to CHAR_LENGTH() for SQL92
 and to remove the ambiguity with geometric length() functions.
Keep length() for character strings for backward compatibility.
Shrink stored views by removing internal column name list from visible rte.
Implement min(), max() for time and timetz data types.
Implement conversion of TIME to INTERVAL.
Implement abs(), mod(), fac() for the int8 data type.
Rename some math functions to generic names:
 round(), sqrt(), cbrt(), pow(), etc.
Rename NUMERIC power() function to pow().
Fix int2 factorial to calculate result in int4.
Enhance the Oracle compatibility function translate() to work with string
 arguments (from Edwin Ramirez).
Modify pg_proc system table to remove OID holes.

Ok. I made patches replacing all of "#if FALSE" or "#if 0" to "#ifdef
NOT_USED" for current. I have tested these patches in that the
postgres binaries are identical.

    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).

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.

Another PGINDENT run that changes variable indenting and case label indenting.  Also static variable indenting.

Used to support SQL92 compatibility.
