I'm pretty fuzzy on the details, but postgresql can handle the concept of varying encodings and converting on the fly, so that you can tell a session that you want a particular encoding. So if guile is set up to have unicode always, then presumably the db->guile conversions should just do that. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/multibyte.html --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEARECAAYFAlRJQ+gACgkQ+vesoDJhHiVmkQCfYMrrKvIZ6tklRXy4q9sZPnVF lZQAnjGJ5XIQH0pIpbdDJ7gOJdKDLh97 =qG0h -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
