Hello, I have made patches that allow PostgreSQL to handle multi-byte characters. The patches makes most commands including "regexp" and "like" 8 bit, multi-byte aware. You have a choice of one of followings for coding schema at the compile time: 1. single byte 7 bit ASCII/8 bit characters(mostly used in Europ) 2. EUC (extend Unix Code) for Japanese, Chinese and Korean 3. UNICODE (UTF-8) 4. Mule internal code I only modified include/regexp, backend/regex and backend/utils/adt/like.c. So the patches would not affect other parts of PostgreSQL, I believe. Note that I changed regexp coming with PostgreSQL rather than borrowing GNU's regex to avoid license issues. Should I post the patches for 6.3b now or wait after v6.3? -- Tatsuo Ishii t-ishii@sra.co.jp
