We find the transition of the initial mass function to be at [Fe/H]~-2 from the viewpoint of the distribution of carbon abundance and the frequency of carbon-enhanced stars. Analyses of carbon-enhanced stars in our sample suggest that nucleosynthesis in asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars can contribute to carbon enrichment in a different way depending on whether the metallicity is above or below [Fe/H]~-2.5, which is consistent with the current models of stellar evolution at low metallicity. Description: We extend the data set compiled in the SAGA data base by covering papers published by the end of 2009, as compared with 2007 December in Paper I (Suda et al., 2008PASJ...60.1159S 2008PASJ...60.1159S). The data compilation reaches back to 1994, depending on the availability of data tables in electronic format that is considered technically important for our compilation process.
