according to this article http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=409471, the naming of tables, and fields is restricted to 63 characters and must start with an underscore or letter. Nothing is however said about in which character set. Am I allowed to name a table field < Änderung_1 >. The Ä is a german letter contained within the UTF8 character set.
It does work, but I have had some tools (JDBC based) that choked on those tables. And I had some troubles running pg_dump/pg_restore with those tables. But as I did that merely out of curiosity, I didn't bother to find a way on how to deal with them.
