Hi,
By default, my postgresql server is set to use UTF8 character set. I
was wondering if there is any way to make sure that certain fields
like url etc. only makes use of ascii. My main aim is to save space
by using only 1 byte / character for urls (some of the urls are
over 200 characters long). Is this possible? Or are all characters
eventually converted to UTF8 during storage?
An ascii string and the UTF8 representation of it will take exactly
the same number of bytes, so if space used is your concern it's not an
issue.
Cheers,
Steve
