Please don't do that. There's a known issue of round trip conversion between Unicode and other encodings and still the existing encodings are very important for many users. Also I think DBMS should not rely on particular encoding implementation. -- Tatsuo Ishii ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
