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.

I do not know about these contributions well as I only made the binaries
to contribute to a Japanese Linux package.(I did not test them.) But I
try to make some brief introduction about the contrib directory with my
poor English. Here is a draft of README about contrib directory:

HP-UX (all versions) requires shared libraries to have execute
permission, and really needs them to be exactly mode 555 for
performance reasons. The standard configure/install procedure
installs libpq.sl as mode 644, which DOES NOT WORK.
The attached patch modifies the makefiles to distinguish
INSTL_LIB_OPTS (install mode for ordinary libraries) from
INSTL_SHLIB_OPTS (mode for shared libs), and adds a test
to configure to set INSTL_SHLIB_OPTS="-m 555" when on HP-UX.

Ok, I have finally gotten all of the defines for Dec/Alpha and
Linux/Alpha sorted out as Marc asked. There is no longer any need for
'-Dalpha' or '-Dlinuxalpha' in either the Dec/Alpha or the Linux/Alpha
template files (./src/template/{alpha,linuxalpha}). I have replaced every
instance of 'alpha' or '__alpha__' with '__alpha', as that appears to be
the common symbol between C compilers on both operating systems (RH4.2 &
DecUnix 4.0b) for alpha.

Here is a pair of patches that (I hope) finish the configuration
issues with tcl/tk and make the recognition of the two packages
completely parallel in organization. This should make future changes
easier to maintain.
Prepare the EXTRACT() clause for supporting TIMEZONE_HOUR
and TIMEZONE_MINUTE but don't introduce until v6.4.
Fix SET TIMEZONE LOCAL to pass null pointer
rather than older "default" string.
Fix handling of NULL pointer returns from FOREIGN KEY clauses
which are currently ignored.
Allow START as a table/column name.

Hi,
Attached you'll find a (big) patch that fixes make dep and make
depend in all Makefiles where I found it to be appropriate.
It also removes the dependency in Makefile.global for NAMEDATALEN
and OIDNAMELEN by making backend/catalog/genbki.sh and bin/initdb/initdb.sh
a little smarter.
This no longer requires initdb.sh that is turned into initdb with
a sed script when installing Postgres, hence initdb.sh should be
renamed to initdb (after the patch has been applied :-) )
This patch is against the 6.3 sources, as it took a while to
complete.

this patch solve 2 problemes :
probleme number 1 :
- configure can find the library readline , but don't
find the header file . so in this case we don't use lib readline
.
probleme number 2 :
- when you have postgres 6.2.1 and readline installed
with the same prefix( and generally all your software ) . you
can compile the version 6.3 . I use this prefix , when configure
ask me for "Additional directories to search for include files"
.
( because there a conflict in the header when you
compile psql.c ) In this case, you must permut the sequence of
directive -I .
