The primary problem of introducing Postgres in Russia (and some other
countries as well) is 8 bits code table (acsii + cyrillic letters). 
First impression is, it accepts them. Should we expect troubles with 
string handling, patterns and so on (I can't forget 6 bits Ingres 
nightmare)?

At least, did developers have in mind this issue?

Thank you anyway. Postgres looks great.
