There is some connection between collations and character sets or encodings, because a collation is tied to one of those, just as a necessity of implementation (depending on implementation details). You could have per-column (or per-some-other-small-unit) collation with a global encoding, but a per-column encoding with a global collation wouldn't work. > For that matter, are per-table/column encodings spec, Yes. > and/or something that we're looking to implement down the line? I don't think anyone is seriously planning that. But per-column collations would have to come first, anyway. Of course there is always the possibility that someone comes up with an alternative plan that invalidates the above, but the above represents the facts from the SQL standard and other implementations. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
