Hi,
I put PostgreSQL binary files in Windows in a folder with Russian name, for example:
C:\Постгрес
When I run pg_ctl.exe from the Command Prompt from this current directory I get the following error:
could not find a "pg_ctl.exe" to execute
pg_ctl.exe file is actually there and it runs, but just prints the above error to the console.
If I run
"C:\Постгрес\pg_ctl.exe"
I get this error:
invalid binary: "C:\????????\pg_ctl.exe"
The same happens when running initdb.exe
Looks like the utility just cannot access its own file because of the russian characters.
The OS is Windows 10
I tried running "chcp 65001" in the console window to set UTF-8 encoding for the console.
Similar errors happen if I put the binaries in English folder, but try to run initdb for a non-english data folder
Does PostgreSQL for Windows support directories in UTF-8 or other encoding?
