8.4.1).  This corrects some curious regex bugs, though not the greediness
issue I was hoping to find a solution for :-(

conversion of basic ASCII letters.  Remove all uses of strcasecmp and
strncasecmp in favor of new functions pg_strcasecmp and pg_strncasecmp;
remove most but not all direct uses of toupper and tolower in favor of
pg_toupper and pg_tolower.  These functions use the same notions of
case folding already developed for identifier case conversion.  I left
the straight locale-based folding in place for situations where we are
just manipulating user data and not trying to match it to built-in
strings --- for example, the SQL upper() function is still locale
dependent.  Perhaps this will prove not to be what's wanted, but at
the moment we can initdb and pass regression tests in Turkish locale.

$Header: -> $PostgreSQL Changes ...

Also, make :alnum: character class directly dependent on isalnum()
rather than guessing.

(extracted from Tcl 8.4.1 release, as Henry still hasn't got round to
making it a separate library).  This solves a performance problem for
multibyte, as well as upgrading our regexp support to match recent Tcl
and nearly match recent Perl.

postgres.h or c.h includes a system header (such as stdio.h or
stdlib.h), there's no need to specifically include it in any of the .c
files in the backend.

because c.h has sys/types.h.

Implement SQL99 SIMILAR TO as a synonym for our existing operator "~".
Implement SQL99 regular expression SUBSTRING(string FROM pat FOR escape).
 Extend the definition to make the FOR clause optional.
 Define textregexsubstr() to actually implement this feature.
Update the regression test to include these new string features.
 All tests pass.
Rename the regular expression support routines from "pg95_xxx" to "pg_xxx".
Define CREATE CHARACTER SET in the parser per SQL99. No implementation yet.

[ Patch comments in three pieces.]

Attached is a pacth against 7.2 which adds locale awareness to the
character classes of the regular expression engine.

I miss that case :-(. Here is the pached patch.

Here is a patch which addresses Tatsuo's concerns (it does return an
static struct instead of constructing it).

spacing.  Also adds space for one-line comments.

tests pass.

definitions from K&R to ANSI C style, and fix broken assumption that
int and long are the same datatype.  This repairs problems observed
on Alpha with regexps having between 32 and 63 states.

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

\d? results in one query. Add \d? field search feature.  Rename MB
to MULTIBYTE.

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.

Included are patches intended for allowing PostgreSQL to handle
multi-byte charachter sets such as EUC(Extende Unix Code), Unicode and
Mule internal code. With the MB patch you can use multi-byte character
sets in regexp and LIKE. The encoding system chosen is determined at
the compile time.

To enable the MB extension, you need to define a variable "MB" in
Makefile.global or in Makefile.custom. For further information please
take a look at README.mb under doc directory.

(Note that unlike "jp patch" I do not use modified GNU regexp any
more. I changed Henry Spencer's regexp coming with PostgreSQL.)

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

Fix pgproc names over 15 chars in output.  Add strNcpy() function.  remove some (void) casts that are unnecessary.
