PostgreSQL uses the OS functinos to do locale handling. The other databases usually implement their own (or use a library that does it, but they do not rely on the OS)
Being a developer myself I can understand this reason, but in the PG context I'm a User I not having Unicode support is my eyes a very big deficiency which gives the whole Win32 a semi-professional "touch".
Unicode is something very important and I do hope this will be solved in on of the next releases.
Cheers Thomas P.S.: don't get me wrong: the Win32 is *very* much appreciated.
