Forgot to mention --- I'm not in favor of backpatching. First because tightening encoding verification has been a process over multiple releases; it's not a bug fix in the normal sense of the word, and might break things that people had been doing without trouble. Second because I think we'll have to change pg_verifymbstr's API, and that's not something to back-patch if we can avoid it. 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
