Actually the problem can be divided into two parts: 1) backend does not process GUC client_encoding. 2) libpq does not ask the backend's client_encoding, instead it asks datanbase encoding when it starts up the connection. This is just a mistake. I think we could fix 1) without any backward compatibilty problem and should be applied to both 7.3-STATBLE and current. -- Tatsuo Ishii ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
