Re: PQexecParams and wchar_t

I have never heard of using a wchar_t for UTF8. If you have a wchar_t
string, its probably utf-16 or ucs4 encoding. You need to convert it to
utf8: iconv on most unixes or WideCharToMultiByte on windows. That will
give you a char array that PQexecParams will understand.
