Hi, Here is a proposal to add a client side encoding CP51932. CP51932 is an encoding for Japanese, defined by Microsoft. It is similar to existing EUC_JP encoding but some characters are mapped differently. Unfortunately for most Windows apps "EUC-JP" means CP51932. As a result, for example, if a web page is encoded with EUC-JP, web browsers will encode users' input as CP51932 and save data to PostgreSQL database as CP51932, which is not what PostgreSQL expects of course. Adding CP51932 <--> EUC_JP conversion should solve the problem (CP51932 <--> UTF-8 and SJIS should be added too).
If there's no objection, patches for current will be posted for a review (patches have been develpped by a Japanese developer, not me). Comments and suggestions are welcome. -- Tatsuo Ishii SRA OSS, Inc. Japan ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
