Re: [mdb-dev] UTF-8 support

[<br...@br...>]

I have it, but i need to tie up some loose ends.  I like the error
handling in this patch better the my simple pass/fail.  On the other
hand, there is no autoconf detection in the patch that I saw from my
quick perusal.  Also, my patch sets up iconv once per handle, this one
 seems to incur the overhead on each call (again from my quick look). 
Definately some good stuff in the patch though, and I'll try to merge
the two and we'll be better for it.

I'm still mulling over the problem of figuring out if the terminal
supports UTF8 or not.  I'm leaning toward turning it on if $LANG
contains the substring "utf8".  This works on RedHat 9/Fedora.  I'm 
very keen to hear what it is on other platforms.  Just,

echo $LANG

and post your results (along with the OS/distro you use of course) and
if we get enough responses we should be able to determine the correct
course of action.

669739 should be due to added/deleted/reordered columns and *should*
be fixed. It works for all the test cases I have anyway.  If your
willing to part with a database that still exhibits this behaviour,
I'll certainly have a looksee.
