This has nothing to do with ASCII vs. UTF-8. The problem is that "meta rel='action_author'" is not a valid XML *element* name, so it needs to be escaped. What you are trying to achieve is presumably to get a meta element with a rel attribute. To get that, you will have to run the result of query_to_xml through some postprocessing (with XSLT, for example). -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
