Hi Adriano,

While on this sort of subject are you able to offer any
information about what happens to API text such as SQL
statements and the like) sent to the server?  (And details
like relation names etc returned to the client.)

There would appear to be potential complications with literal
cast requests (eg: _ISO8859_1'abc') in connections using other
UTF8 or other character sets etc.  (Wondering if the client
interface is expected to deal with such things - when asking
for user input - or whether the server handles them in some
vaguely sensible way (I suspect there is not always a good
solution).)
