Since encoding names are built-in and therefore well known, and the names have been aligned with the SQL standard names, which are identifiers, I don't think this argument is valid (anymore). It probably shouldn't be changed inconsistently as part of an unrelated patch, but I think the idea has merit. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
