Thread: UTF support in WIN32 native and Lower/Upper in 7.5 release
I'm looking at "TODO list for PostgreSQL" and "Fix upper()/lower() to work for multibyte encodings" has no dash (-) -- so it won't be made in 7.5 ? Another question is about WIN32 native release - currently, all win users cannot set locales, becouse Cygwin does not support it -- I hope that it will be solved in native release, so UTF-8 should work as well ?? Just wanted to know how to plan my further work. Thanks. ML

An item in the TODO list only gets a dash when it is complete. The fact that it does not have a dash does not mean that there is no hope for the 7.5 release, as Peter E is working on this particular item. > Another question is about WIN32 native release - currently, all win > users cannot set locales, becouse Cygwin does not support it -- I hope > that it will be solved in native release, so UTF-8 should work as well ?? > You may be confusing locale with encoding here. UTF-8 is an encoding not a locale. Kris Jurka

If you want to do it then go for it ;-) I believe he native W32 libraries support locales except for one setting - I forget which (possibly LC_MESSAGES?). cheers andrew
