You know what, I think the test in the code is backwards. is_mb = pg_encoding_max_length(encoding) > 1; if ((is_mb && (cvalue > 255)) || (!is_mb && (cvalue > 127))) ereport(ERROR, (errcode(ERRCODE_PROGRAM_LIMIT_EXCEEDED), errmsg("requested character too large for encoding: %d", cvalue))); Shouldn't we be allowing up-to-255 for single-byte encodings, not multibyte? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
