RE: [INTERFACES] i18n in JDBC driver

The internationalisation was with the error messages the driver
produces, not the handling/conversion of strings. In other words, if
your locale is Czech, and we have an errors.properties.cz file in the
driver, then any errors would be returned in Czech.

Subject: [INTERFACES] i18n in JDBC driver


Hi, I want to upgrade from v6.4.2 to v6.5.2, but I have
some problems with character encoding:

In 6.4.2 the "String(bytes[])" constructor was used for
converting database 8-bit characters to Java 16-bit characters, so
client's JVM default encoding was used instead of database encoding.
I had to change the source code of the JDBC driver to use it.

Now I have found this in CHANGELOG in v6.5.2:
"Wed May 19 00:20:00 BST 1999  - Internationalisation now done. Surprising that there's 68 error  messages in the
driver;-)"
 
so I think that it should be corrected now in v6.5.2.

But in postgresql/jdbc2/ResultSet.java on line 151
there is still 
"return new String(this_row[columnIndex - 1]);"
which means that the bug is NOT corrected !

I need a client with "Cp1250" default encoding (Czech WindowsNT)
to be able to connect to a database with "LATIN2" encoding (Linux).
Now the ResultData.getString() method returns wrong characters.

So, am I missing something ? What does it mean "Internationalisation now
done" ?
