Indeed --- what if the server isn't using utf8 internally? And a larger point is that the server has no idea where the file boundaries are. If we were to do this server-side, we'd essentially end up discarding BOM anywhere, which is more libertine than I care to be. 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
