Oh, and BTW, welcome to version 8 of PostgreSQL ... The default

No, it isn't. If you get UTF8 (formerly UNICODE) as a default then
it's because initdb is picking it up from your environment.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/app-initdb.html
"The default is derived from the locale, or SQL_ASCII if that does not work."
Right --- I made the "over-assumption" based on the fact that all the
systems
where I've installed it (all Fedora flavors of Linux) use UTF8 as system
locale,
and thus that one in a sense becomes the "default" ... Not sure about
other
flavors of Unix, but certainly on the Windows world all bets would be off
(not like anyone would care, huh? ;-) )
