I, for one, would be perfectly fine with this. It has several advantages: - it does allow to "know" the encoding right from the beginning - it does not require client library changes (IOW the change does not need to trickle down: server -> libpq -> psycopg2 -> GNUmed) - the type of (auth) failure can be deduced from the (now always English) message string which, again, allows for client-side translation, if so desired Karsten -- GPG key ID E4071346 @ wwwkeys.pgp.net E167 67FD A291 2BEA 73BD 4537 78B9 A9F9 E407 1346 -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
