> My project requires to use Big5/EUC_TW (two bytes per > chinese-character). > > Unfortunately, Big5 code contains escape '\'. PostgreSQL can handle Big5 since 6.5. Create a database with the encoding EUC_TW, and set the client side encoding to BIG5. For example, set PGCLIENTENCODING envrionment variable to BIG5 before starting psql or any libpq based clients. For 7.0 or greater version of PostgreSQL, you could also use \encoding command in psql. -- Tatsuo Ishii ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
