Re: Does postgresql support HKSCS ?

Hi Ang Chin Han,

Thank you very much !!

Though I'm not understand you meaning very well, I appreciate your comment !! No one give me such useful information from the English world !!

However, I'm not sure on 2 points:

1. "map HKSCS to UNICODE"
- String big5 = String.getbyte(request.getParameter("hk_field"), "Big5");

2. "duplicate Big5's code in pgsql to support HKSCS natively."
- I don't understand how to do this.

You'll have to map HKSCS to UNICODE yourself before the data hits
postgresql, and data out of postgresql would be in UNICODE, and up to
you to convert back to HKSCS after retrival. pgsql doesn't have *native*
HKSCS support.

HKSCS is an extension of Big5 right? From the info we have:

http://www.unicode.org/faq/unicode_iso.html
http://www.info.gov.hk/digital21/eng/hkscs/download/big5-iso.txt

We might be able to duplicate Big5's code in pgsql to support HKSCS
natively.

I don't have experience with HKSCS nor test materials to attempt it though.
