FWIW, this patch also *completely* breaks the default windows installs, which will have the database in UTF-8 but there is *never* any UTF-8 support on the console (only UTF-16). So +1 for not making it the default... Or at least have logic based on the *client* to figure out what the default should be, in case that can be made consistent. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
