I'm not sure I understand your question, but I would say I would like to follow SQL99 as much as possible. When you say "We do not yet implement the SQL99 forms of character support", I think you mean the ability to specify per column (or even per string) charset. I don't think this would happen for 7.3(or 8.0 whatever), but sometime later I would like to make it reality. -- Tatsuo Ishii ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
