Well, the advertised purpose of the chr() changes was to prevent generation of invalid multibyte sequences, not to cut off potentially-useful functionality. So I don't think it should be preventing people from generating non-ASCII single-byte characters. The test is clearly backwards, because in an MB encoding it will in fact let you generate invalid encoding ... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
