Then you use the locale C. We could create a 7-bit encoding and map it to locale C, I suppose. > > Certainly, making 7-bit ASCII the default encoding > > is not an option. > > Why is that? That would cripple a system that many users are perfectly content with now. I compare this to the occasional requests to make pg_hba.conf reject everyone by default. We have to err a little on the side of usablity. Anyway, the issue here is the mismatch between the C locale and the SQL_ASCII encoding. The solution is to fix that mismatch, not cripple the entire system. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
