Same here. With pg_enable_utf8 I would expect to get character strings,
not byte strings, so no decode should be necessary.

Yes, true.

The demo uses MySQL, Pg and SQLite.

With 3.0.0, if you have your client_encoding set to UTF-8, you can delete the 
call to pg_enable_utf8 and it will DTRT.

I did not try that.

This has been a long time coming, but most welcome.

Indeed.
