Hi,
I have added two built-in functions:pg_char_to_encoding() -- convert encoding string to encoding
idpg_encoding_to_char() -- convert encoding id to encoding string
Main purpose for this is to allow psql -l to print encoding names
rather than encoding ids (sample output from psql shown below) in a
multibyte enabled installation.
List of databases Database | Owner | Encoding
------------+---------+----------regression | t-ishii | EUC_JPtemplate1 | t-ishii | EUC_JPtest | t-ishii |
EUC_JP
(3 rows)
This is much more "user friendly" IMHO.
initdb required.
