Hi All,
I have a client application that uses an 8 bit character set that is not
supported by Postgresql. I'm using UTF-8 to store data within my
database and would like to create a character set conversion converting
between my native set and Postgresql. I have all the information I need
as far as which 8bit value should be mapped to what UTF-8 'character'.
I read in the documentation about the 'Create conversion' command
writing a function to do the conversion job. Is this the best way
forward or are there better ways to attempt this? Is there any sample
code available for implementing such a conversion? I don't want to
reinvent the wheel here...
