[Gllug] PostgreSQL 7.3 / UNICODE database / BYTEA

[Harry Mantheakis]

Hi Richard

Thanks partly to you I am using Postgres :-)

But I am on 7.4.

I shall be happy to try your test on my system which is currently set up for
'testing' - which means I do not mind what kind of stuff I throw at it,
because the partition will get reformatted pretty soon for the 'real' thing.

I take it you can supply all the necessary scripts and data.

Kind regards

Harry Mantheakis
