Hi
in the docs, the function "ascii(text)" is described as
returning "ASCII code of the first character of the argument"
(see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/functions-string.html,
Table 9-6. "Other String Functions").
Presumably this should read "ASCII code of the first byte of the argument",
which is what is returned when the argument is a multi-byte character
(although then with UTF-8 at least that might not necessarily be an ASCII
code).
