This directory contains a set of tests for locales. I provided one C

program test-ctype.c to test CTYPE support in libc and the installed

locale data. Then there are test-sort.pl and test-sort.py that test

collating.

This directory contains a set of tests for locales. I provided one C

program test-ctype.c to test CTYPE support in libc and installed

localedata. Then there are test-sort.pl and test-sort.py that tests

collating. (Also there is test-sort.py but it is commented out in scripts;

uncomment it if you have Python interpreter installed).

To run a test for some locale (koi8, e.g) run

make all test-$locale

(for example)

make all test-koi8

To run a test for some locale run

gmake check-$locale

for example

gmake check-koi8-r

Currently, only tests forkoi8 locale (russian cyrillic for UN*X)

provided in koi8 directory. Script `runall' calls test-pgsql-locale to test

whether locale support had beencompiled intoPotgreSQL, test-ctype to test

libc and localedata,test-sort.pl (uncomment test-sort.py, if you have

Python interpreterinstalled) and does tests on PostgreSQL with

test-koi8*.sql.in.

Currently,there areonly tests fora few locales available. The script

'runall' calls test-pgsql-locale to test whether locale support has been

compiled intoPostgreSQL, test-ctype to test libc and locale data,

test-sort.pl (uncomment test-sort.py, if you have a Python interpreter

installed), and does tests on PostgreSQL with the provided SQL script

files.

To add locale tests one need to create directory $locale and create

Makefile (and other files) similar to koi8-r/*. Actually, the simplest (I

think) method is just copy koi8-r directory and edit/replace files.
