Hi,
in Czech database conference we talk about windows PostgreSQL port andwindows encodings now. The current code
expect use win1250 as FEencoding only. That's right for non-windows systems, but native windowsknows work with this
encoding. The encodings separation (FE|BE) isdefined in the include/mb/pg_wchar.h file and I think we can change ita
little by "#ifdef WIN32" and define windows encodings as backendencodings for windows port.
Pavel Stehule <stehule@kix.fsv.cvut.cz> already test win1250 as backendencoding for windows port and it works. There is
morewindows encodingslike Big5 and Shift-JIS which are defined as FE only.
I haven't windows so I can't help with this work, but I think peoplewho work on windows port should test and
fix it, because supportwindows encodigs in native windows port is well-founded idea. I think:-)
