If we were going to expend any effort on this problem, my vote would be to rename the file to something less carpal-tunnel-promoting. There's no real reason it couldn't be euc2004_and_sjis2004.c or some such. The problem with doing anything is that we have only a couple of reports and so no solid picture of what the restriction is. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
