Thanks. Glad to hear about pgAdminIII...
To follow up on this topic:
Given that i can insert and retrieve Unicode values into either ASCII-based  
or Unicode-based DB, is Unicode-based DB less efficient? I remember reading  
something about it a while ago. I don't see immediately why that would be the  
case though, because special characters are 2 bytes either way, assuming we  
are not simplifying Unicode characters into ASCII.
 

Sorry, I can't answer that - perhaps someone on pgsql-general@postgresql.org would know?

Regards, Dave.
