Hello,
combination functions to_ascii and convert_to is broken now. Problem
is in convert_to function. It doesn't support 8bit output encoding.
Current workaround:
CREATE FUNCTION to_ascii(bytea, name)
RETURNS text AS 'to_ascii_encname' LANGUAGE internal;
SELECT to_ascii(convert_to('Příliš žlutý kůň', 'latin2'),'latin2');
I don't expect column collate for 8.4, so we need to have workable
to_ascii function.
I propose function to_ascii(text, name) that internally convert text
from utf8 encoding when it's necessary.
Regards
Pavel Stehule
