Does postgresql support HKSCS ?

От
Eric Tan

Hi all,
 
    I would like to setup a database which can accept HKSCS - "Hong Kong Supplementary Character Set". Here is the reference:
 
    Can somebody tell me how to do it? I've try database encoding with EUC_TW, SQL_ASCII and UNICODE, all failed.
 
    These are my configure: RH9 + Postgresql 7.3.4 + Tomcat 4.1.24 + JSP. Do I need to update RH9 also?
 
    Looking forward for you reply. Thank you very much.
 
Best Regards,
    Eric Tan

Isn't HKSC one of the languages supported by UNICODE? I thought they had
every langauge past and present in it.

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.

Hi Ang Chin Han,

Yes, HKSCS just an extension of Big5, if pgsql could support natively,
that is lovely. :-{}

Presumably you could extend the existing big5 support, then.  See
src/backend/utils/mb/conversion_procs/utf8_and_big5/

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.
