I am trying to load shapfiles into the postgreSQL9.0. The database encoding is UTF8. My shapfiles coming from Sweden, so there are some Swedish alphabet in the fields name and also inside columns data. I used this command to load shapfiles: C:\Pragram Files\PostgreSQL\9.0> shp2pgsql -s 2400 –c –W LATIN1 C:/project/Mandana/OBO/WSPbackground_shp/Primärkartan.shp |psql –U postgres OBO I could insert shapfiles which do not have Swedish alphabet in their fields name or data inside the columns, but I could not load others that have Swedish alphabet. I get this ERROR: *invalid byte sequence for encoding “UTF8”:0xe4726b* Any help would be so appreciated.
Hi! You might need to set the CLIENT_ENCODING to latin1. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/multibyte.html Regards, Florian -- Florian Helmberger -------------------- 25th-floor - Operating Custom Solutions de Pretis & Helmberger KG Seidengasse 33-35/Top 19 1070 Wien, Austria Mail: fh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web : http://www.25th-floor.com Tel.: +43 1 / 512 82 89 - 60 Fax : +43 1 / 512 82 89 - 76 Mob.: +43 699 / 109 24 24 5 --------------------------------------- -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
