Hello group, Any suggestions as to how to fix this are greatly appreciated. My setup is Vista, locally installed Postgres 8.4.6 in default folders with db initialised as (server_encoding) UTF8, and databases created with default encoding of WIN1252. My application program is behaving correctly using libpq.dll. pgAdmin is configured with Preferences=>Font = Tahoma windows-1252 and Query=>Font = Tahoma 9 windows-1252. The test case: 1. Create a text file test.txt containing 1 line of 2 characters: éÉ (acute accented lowercase and uppercase e, hex(E9C9), valid win1252 characters. 2. CREATE DATABASE dbtest WITH OWNER = postgres ENCODING = 'WIN1252' TABLESPACE = pg_default LC_COLLATE = 'French_Canada.1252' LC_CTYPE = 'French_Canada.1252' CONNECTION LIMIT = -1; 3. Open query window to database dbtest and import the file test.txt... 4. CREATE TABLE test ( col_descr text ) WITH ( OIDS=FALSE ); ALTER TABLE test OWNER TO postgres; set client_encoding = 'WIN1252'; COPY test FROM 'C:\\pgtemp\\test.txt' with delimiter as '|' csv; select * from test; 5. Results (no errors reported): --- col_descr -- ---------------- -- (1 row with nothing displayed, but the length of col_descr = 2) 6. If I execute the query: set client_encoding = 'UTF8'; select * from test; The correct results are displayed. Is there a way, in PgAdmin, to to display the results when client_encoding is set to WIN1252 ? - Mark -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
