Re: Fwd: LMDB and text encoding

I suggest we wait to deal with DB names until we also have a way to deal with filenames. And this time test that it works is practice.

And then I also suggest to try to make this mess simple to deal with for programmers and or users. I guess I should have separated that from the rest more clearly.

I can write a patch which does the UTF-8 to UTF-16 conversion on Windows for file paths, but I would hate to restrict db names to UTF-8 text only (or for that matter, any text only). However, not supporting non-UTF-8 db names in mdb_dump and mdb_load sounds like a reasonable compromise to me.
