What is GBK18030? If it's related to either GBK or GB18030, then it'd be unsafe to use as a server encoding because it's not a strict ASCII superset (that is, it has multibyte characters in which not all bytes have the high bit set). The lack of room for a new server encoding in the pg_enc enum has seemed like a mostly hypothetical problem because of that restriction. regards, tom lane
