driver) corrupting the files in the source tree with wrong paths.

Problem: The getDatabaseProductVersion() method was returning "6.5.2"
Resolution: Changed it to return "7.0.2"

Problem: A call to getTables() with an unsupported table type (in the

parsing error
Resolution: Unsupported table types are now ignored without error

the "TABLE" table type, and the "VIEW" table type was unsupported
Resolution: Changed the "TABLE" type to return only physical tables and
added support for the "VIEW" table type (returning only views)

Problem: The getIdentifierQuoteString() method was returning null

O.K. -
Here's the multibyte aware version of my patch to fix the truncation
of the rulename autogenerated during a CREATE VIEW. I've modified all
the places in the backend that want to construct the rulename to use
the MakeRetrieveViewRuleName(), where I put the #ifdef MULTIBYTE, so
that's the only place that knows how to construct a view rulename. Except
pg_dump, where I replicated the code, since it's a standalone binary.

The only effect the enduser will see is that views with names len(name)
> NAMEDATALEN-4 will fail to be created, if the derived rulename clases
with an existing rule: i.e. the user is trying to create two views with
long names whose first difference is past NAMEDATALEN-4 (but before
NAMEDATALEN: that'll error out after the viewname truncation.) In no
case will the user get left with a table without a view rule, as the
current code does.
