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.

Introduction
MB patch is 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.
The MB support is intended for allowing PostgreSQL to handle
multi-byte character sets such as EUC(Extended Unix Code), Unicode and

The patch also fixes some problems concerning with 8-bit single byte
MB also fixes some problems concerning with 8-bit single byte
character sets including ISO8859. (I would not say all of problems
have been fixed. I just confirmed that the regression test ran fine
and a few French characters could be used with the patch. Please let

How to use
After applying the MB patch, create src/Makefile.custom with a line
including:
create src/Makefile.custom with a line including:
MB=encoding_system
MB=encoding_system
or run configure with the mb option:
% configure --with-mb=encoding_system
where encoding_system is one of:
EUC_JP Japanese EUC
EUC_CN Chinese EUC
EUC_KR Korean EUC
EUC_TW Taiwan EUC
UNICODE Unicode(UTF-8)
MULE_INTERNAL Mule internal
EUC_JP Japanese EUC
EUC_CN Chinese EUC
EUC_KR Korean EUC
EUC_TW Taiwan EUC
UNICODE Unicode(UTF-8)
MULE_INTERNAL Mule internal
Example:
% cat Makefile.custom
MB=EUC_JP
% cat Makefile.custom
MB=EUC_JP
If MB is not defined, nothing is changed except better supporting for
or
% configure --with-mb=EUC_JP
If MB is disabled, nothing is changed except better supporting for
8-bit single byte character sets.
