Oops, sent this to the wrong list first... Please ignore the other if you subscribe to pgsql-general as well. Hi, I have a database fronted with PHP. I want the user to be able to put scientific notation characters (greek letters really) and store them in the database. Do I have to have created the database with UNICODE encoding to do this? Also, is there anything in the PHP I have to adjust to be able to store the data and display the data?
