no, PostgreSQL has always been strict about content types.

the driver isn't doing this, its happening in the postgres
database. you should fix invalid input at the source application
before sending to the database.

define 'invalid character', then fix it. this SQL_ASCII field that
contains 0x92, what character code is that supposed to represent ?

the database (NOT the driver) does that already. if you try and insert
invalid data, you get an error and have to rollback the transaction.
