I think the question is whether the server encoding or English are likely to be better for the average client. My bet is that the server encoding is more likely correct. However, you are right that English/ASCII at least will always be viewable, while there are many server/client combinations that will produce unreadable characters. I would be interested to hear other people's experience with this. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + Everyone has their own god. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
