Jay, That's a reasonable perspective, and indeed I have asked Adobe for the feature. But another not unreasonable position is this: to prevent fragmentation, enhancements that have general applicability are made to the core rather than to individual implementations. The more implementations diverge from the core, the less portable the database becomes.
The raw functions I requested would be useful features for the database to have. Once you have a raw LIKE operator, one that tests codepoint by codepoint, it doesn't matter so much what direction the SQLite architects might take in the future in terms of how they decide to handle normalisation of Unicode composed characters (.e.g is a + combining diaresis LIKE a-umlaut?). One can always rely upon the raw string function; not so with functions that incorporate higher-order Unicode awareness. Tim Romano Jay A.
