The SQL standard says that N'foo' is a literal of the data type NATIONAL CHARACTER. PG supports this syntax (and the type name) but treats it the same as plain character/varchar. > Is there a section in the PostgreSQL documentation that describes it ? I don't see it offhand. I think it's pretty much useless/deprecated anyway so I'm not sure it's worth documenting. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
