Attached patch will add a version() function to Postges, e.g.
template1=> select version();

PostgreSQL 6.3.2 on i586-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc 2.8.1
(1 row)
If PQfn() receives NOTICEs from the backend, it fails because there is no
provision to deal with them.
This patch (supplied by Anders Hammarquist <iko@netg.se> to me as Debian
maintainer of postgresql) cures the problem:
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.
1. Removes the unnecessary "#define AbcRegProcedure 123"'s from
pg_proc.h.
2. Changes those #defines to use the names already defined in
fmgr.h.
3. Forces the make of fmgr.h in backend/Makefile instead of having
it
made as a dependency in access/common/Makefile *hack*hack*hack*
4. Rearranged the #includes to a less helter-skelter arrangement,
also
changing <file.h> to "file.h" to signify a non-system header.
5. Removed "pg_proc.h" from files where its only purpose was for
the
#defines removed in item #1.
6. Added "fmgr.h" to each file changed for completeness sake.
Turns out that #6 was not necessary for some files because fmgr.h
was being included in a roundabout way SIX levels deep by the first
include.
"access/genam.h"
->"access/relscan.h"
->"utils/rel.h"
->"access/strat.h"
->"access/skey.h"
->"fmgr.h"
So adding fmgr.h really didn't add anything to the compile, hopefully
just made it clearer to the programmer.

This patch fix the Makefiles in contrib/{pginterface, spi,
miscutil, int8, ip_and_mac, sequence, soundex, string, userlock,
array, datetime} to install their modules in one directory(lib/modules/).
