It would be so much easier if you told us your error message. -- Guillaume http://www.postgresql.fr http://dalibo.com ------------------------------------ Another update : After toying around with this, I think this is a subject for the PgAdmin list. It looks like a display problem in pgAdmin. The characters are being displayed with a client_encoding of UTF8 but not with a client_encoding of WIN1252. My application, which sets client_encoding to WIN1252, receives and displays the characters correctly. By the way, my pgAdmin is configured with Preferences=>Font = Tahoma windows-1252 and Query=>Font = Tahoma 9 windows-1252. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
