Doh, yes it does doesn't it. Sorry I searched for a bit and failed to find anything before. Looks as though the signal to noise ratio was far too low as I've just searched again and found a (single) reference to their docs describing the feature[1]. I've also just noticed that the MySQL todo item points to several other implementations and how they handle Unicode escape sequences. The most common option (bearing in mind that this is a sample of mainly FOSS databases) seems to be doing some variant of '\u0123', as in the style of Python. This is only supported for literals and no support for identifiers appears to be provided. -- Sam http://samason.me.uk/ [1] http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r5/topic/com.ibm.db2.luw.sql.ref.doc/doc/r0000731.html -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
