> Yeah, that's better than nothing. A quick look at the output of "iconv --list" on Fedora 10 and OSX 10.5.6 says that it would not work quite well enough. The encoding names are similar but not identical --- in particular I notice a lot of discrepancies about dash versus underscore vs no separator at all. What we need is an API equivalent to "iconv --list", but I'm not seeing one :-(. Do we need to go so far as to try to run that program? Its output format is poorly standardized, among other problems ... regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
