upcoming 7.4 relaese: absent recode() function ?
From the latest pgsql-announce@postgresql.org
message
The --enable-recode feature was removed due to its brokenness with
the IPv6 changes and an apparent lack of anyone actually using it.
Is this mean, that PostgresSQL will not have recode() futher ?
Some my programs use following form of the recode:
recode('...', 'Windows-1251', 'KOI8-R')
to convert posted users' files into my base charset KOI8-R, if the files' content have another charset
and save them into DB...
How can I install recode() function for 7.4 release ?

That's right. Use the more general character-set-conversion
functionality, instead.

Also, Tom, we had this item on TODO for a while, so people were using it
in the past, they would have squaked about the idea of removing it:
* -Remove Cyrillic recode support
