It's a reasonable compromise I guess. One can still support utf-16 and others using the new wire protocol and maybe with some escaping extension like: _utf16 H'a42a1121311' where H would be a way to form a string from hexencoded bytes (or using the same as for bytea, or whatever). It's a problem for the future. -- /Dennis Björklund ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
