I don't have an example and it's an assumption. Consider a query like: select * from t where f = 'AAAA' A is 0x41. Now replace the string of A's by a string of arbitrary length and arbitrary content, including bytes 0x00 - 0x1f and 0x80 - 0xff. I assume that when this is printed to the terminal as is, the terminal interprets some of these bytes as control codes, so it shouldn't be printed as is. Does this make it clear? If not, I'll have to find out how those control codes work so I can construct a query. Greetings, Olaf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
