IMO people who want SQL_ASCII should actually be storing everything in `bytea`; that's a truer reflection of what they're actually storing, retrieving, and working with and how they're doing it. Unfortunately there'll be enough users of it around that I don't think we can drop it. What we SHOULD be doing is making it an explicit decision to use SQL_ASCII, and NEVER creating a cluster or database with that encoding by default. Ever. If we can't decide what the correct default encoding is (say, if locale is "C") we should error out unless a specific flag is set. -- Craig Ringer http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
