That sounds about right. If you're using databases of different encodings in the same installation, it would probably be wise to restrict yourself to the intersection of those encodings when choosing database names. I agree that this isn't ideal, but I don't see any way to improve it. If you like, we could put in code to *enforce* a restriction to 7-bit ASCII in database names (and user and group names too) ... but that doesn't seem like a big improvement. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
