Bruce,
Is there a good source of multi-byte copy data test cases? What is
currently done to test the trans-coding support? (where client and server
encodings are different)
I notice that the regression data in the CVS version of postgres does not
seem to include cases other than the ASCII data, is there another source of
data/cases we're missing?
Also - Alon's looking into this, but it would appear that the presumption on
EOL for two-byte encodings is 0x0a+0xNN, where 0x0a is followed by any byte.
Similar for other current control characters (escape, delimiter). Is there
a definition of format and semantics for COPY with 2-byte encodings we
should look at?
I've looked at the code and the docs like sql-copy.html and the question is
relevant because of the following case:
if newline were defined as 0x0a+0x00 as opposed to 0x0a+0xNN where N is
arbitrary, we could parse using 16-bit logic.
however
if newline were defined as 0x0a+0xNN, we must use byte-wise parsing
TIA
- Luke
