What is wrong with checking if the codeset is valid using iconv_open()?
That would probably work as well. We'd have to decide what we'd try to convert from with iconv_open(). Utf-8 might be a safe choice. We don't currently use iconv_open() anywhere in the backend, though, so I'm hesitant to add a dependency for this. GNU gettext() uses iconv, but I'm not sure if that's true for all gettext() implementations.
Peter's suggestion seems the best ATM, though. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
