I know this feature can't make it into 8.0; but blaming Windows for more than one release cycle might not look very good. :-(


I'm not really experienced with the whole locale/character set topic, but what I'm wondering about (and I'm sure others will do as well) is, why other databases (such as Firebird or Oracle) do support UTF8/Unicode on the Windows platform but PostgreSQL does not.
