Postgres made a go at using that (and so did one of the "P" languages
according to Tim Bray). They all found is to be a less then desirable
library from the stand point of performance.
This has me looking for a different library, but thus far I have found
nothing :(

Putting character set conversion in the client is absolutely the
right way to do. There is no earthly reason for a database to
handle multiple character sets.
Your constraint argument makes sense. I need to poke around and see
how many other DB's have syntax and what they are using. I know
that PG uses a subset of the SQL int types.
