Hi,
A client application using libpq made by non-MULTIBYTE
can not talk to server made by MULTIBYTE.
(Example)
------------------------------------------------------------A_server(non-MULTIBYTE)
B_server(--enable-multibyte=EUC_JP) | | --+----------+----------+-- network
| C_server(non-MULTIBYTE)
By using the C_server's psql(+non-MULTIBYTE-libpq),prompt> psql -h B_serveradmin=# set client_encoding='SJIS';SET
VARIABLEadmin=#\dt List of relations Name | Type | Owner
------------+-------+-------SJIS_KANJI | table | admin
(1 row)
admin=# select * from SJIS_KANJI ;\: extra argument ';' ignored\: extra argument ';' ignoredInvalid command \. Try \?
forhelp.
(Here, "SJIS_KANJI" is SJIS multibyte code.)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Is this a specification ?
I hope that a client 7.0-libpq and an application always be
made by "configure --enable-multibyte" even if MULTIBYTE isn't
necessary for backend. If so, the above problem will be solved.
