How tightly integrated into PG do you want it? You can define custom character conversions if you want (although I've never tried this). Python appears to know how to convert to/from "MacRoman"[1] by default, so pl/python should make this reasonably easy. Otherwise, iconv is a useful tool. The project's homepage suggests that it knows how to do the conversions, but I can't figure out the command line needed. -- Sam http://samason.me.uk/ [1] http://docs.python.org/library/codecs.html [2] http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
