We claim it doesn't support UTF8, and that is true. The misconception is in that PostgreSQL used to call UTF8 "UNICODE", with no discinctino. Windows suåpports UTF-16/UCCS-2. That siad, we need to update the FAQ, because in 8.1 we *do* support unicode (UTF8) on win32. I'll go ahead and do that :) //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
