I disagree with this for ecpg because (a) it would be a capability regression from the point of view of anyone building a non-perl-enabled build on Unix, and (b) we already have the C regression driver, why can't we re-use or adapt it for ecpg instead of writing and debugging and maintaining an entirely new set of test infrastructure? For the MBCS stuff I don't care, since no one runs that on a regular basis anyway (or should need to...) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
