Hi, i'd like to ask if there is any difference in server_encoding SQL_ASCII and UNICODE (there must be one since the different terms), but AFAIU -databases which store in SQL_ASCII (i.e. server_encoding=SQL_ASCII) have no problem storing 8bit chars with the first bit set. -databases with server_encoding=UNICODE actually store in UTF-8 encoding -The purpose of UTF-8 is to make possible that multibyte chars can be stored in systems that represent chars in 8 bits -So SQL_ASCII is fine for UTF-8, hence multibyte UNICODE.
So if SQL_ASCII should be fine for UTF-8 storage. (here i must have missed something, tho..), whats the purpose of server_encoding=UNICODE? -- -Achilleus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
