Hmmm... I guess the following was too complicated. You need a library
for conversion. You need to take care of conversions.
printf("SELECT * FROM foo WHERE field1 = '%s'",
latin1_to_database_encoding(...));
Well, so this is a great new useful feature indeed, that will help improve
the lexer code a lot;-)
Good luck,
