That's the big refactoring patch I've been sitting on for too long.
First, refactor connection handling to use a uniformed "connection"
concept (class and generic functions API) everywhere, so that the COPY
derived objects just use that in their :source-db and :target-db slots.
Given that, we don't need no messing around with *pgconn* and *myconn-*
and other special variables at all anywhere in the tree.
Second, clean up some oddities accumulated over time, where some parts
of the code didn't get the memo when new API got into place.
Third, fix any other oddity or missing part found while doing those
first two activities, it was long overdue anyway...
First, the index names in MS SQL, as in MySQL, are only unique per
table, whereas they need to be globally unique (per database) in
PostgreSQL. So reuse the infrastructure we had for MySQL here.
Second, the way we trick table names in index and fkey structures means
that we already did quote the names and we don't want to quote them
again, so add a new possible *identifier-case* value to handle the case
where nothing is to be done, pretty please.
When querying the default values of MySQL tables against MySQL catalogs,
the default value is always returned as a string. When the column having
the default actually is a "binary" column, we want the transformation
functions to receive a proper vector of bytes.
This patch adds some hard-coded rules to be smarted about the situation
for columns of type "binary".
