As Bruce mentioned, this is due to the conflict among changes we made.
Included patches should fix the problem(I changed all MB to
MULTIBYTE). Please let me know if you have further problem.
P.S. I did not include pathces to configure and gram.c to save the
file size(configure.in and gram.y modified).
From: t-ishii@sra.co.jp
Attached are patches to enhance the multi-byte support. (patches are
against 7/18 snapshot)
* determine encoding at initdb/createdb rather than compile time
Now initdb/createdb has an option to specify the encoding. Also, I
modified the syntax of CREATE DATABASE to accept encoding option. See
README.mb for more details.
For this purpose I have added new column "encoding" to pg_database.
Also pg_attribute and pg_class are changed to catch up the
modification to pg_database. Actually I haved added pg_database_mb.h,
pg_attribute_mb.h and pg_class_mb.h. These are used only when MB is
enabled. The reason having separate files is I couldn't find a way to
use ifdef or whatever in those files. I have to admit it looks
ugly. No way.
* support for PGCLIENTENCODING when issuing COPY command
commands/copy.c modified.
* support for SQL92 syntax "SET NAMES"
See gram.y.
* support for LATIN2-5
* add UNICODE regression test case
* new test suite for MB
New directory test/mb added.
* clean up source files
Basic idea is to have MB's own subdirectory for easier maintenance.
These are include/mb and backend/utils/mb.
The diff looks so simple and easy. But to find it wasn't fun.
It must have been there for a long time. What happened:
When a tuple in one of some central catalogs was updated, the
referenced relation got flushed, so it would be reopened on
the next access (to reflect new triggers, rules and table
structure changes into the relation cache).
Some data (the tupleDescriptor e.g.) is used in the system
cache too. So when a relation is subject to the system cache,
this must know too that a cached system relation got flushed
because the tupleDesc data gets freed during the flush!
For the GRANT/REVOKE on pg_class it was slightly different.
There is some local data in inval.c that gets initialized on
the first invalidation of a tuple in some central catalogs.
This needs a SysCache lookup in pg_class. But when the first
of all commands is a GRANT on pg_class, exactly the needed
tuple is the one actually invalidated. So I added little code
snippets that the initialization of the local variables in
inval.c will already happen during InitPostgres().
Attached is the patch to fix the warning messages from my code. I also
fixed one which wasn't my code. Apart from the usual warnings about the
bison/yacc generated code I only have one other warning message. This
is in gramm.y around line 2234. I wasn't sure of the fix.
I've also replaced all the calls to free() in gramm.y to calls to
pfree(). Without these I was getting backend crashes with GRANT. This
might already have been fixed.
