bytea isn't "treated" any different than other data types. You just have to take care in the client that you escape every byte greater than 127. The same option is available to you in xml, if you escape all suspicious characters using entities. Then, the encoding declaration is immaterial anyway. (Unless you allow UTF-16 into the picture, but let's say we exclude that implicitly.) -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
