Sure. > So you can do things like > > printf ("SELECT * FROM foo WHERE field1 = _latin1'%s';", my_latin1_data); Hmmm... I guess the following was too complicated. You need a library for conversion. You need to take care of conversions. printf("SELECT * FROM foo WHERE field1 = '%s'", latin1_to_database_encoding(...)); Well, so this is a great new useful feature indeed, that will help improve the lexer code a lot;-) Good luck, -- Fabien Coelho - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
