I think I have this sorted out. What I don't understand, however, is why varstr_abbrev_convert() makes a point of looping until the result of strxfrm() fits into the output buffer (buf2), when we only need 8 bytes, and we throw away the rest later. Wouldn't it work to just request 8 bytes? If there is a problem with just requesting 8 bytes, then I'm wondering how this would affect the ICU code branch. -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
