Hagen, > gpdemo=# \encoding > UTF8 UTF8 includes virtually all characters you will need for any purpose on the earth. But: you showed the output of \encoding when you were asked to show \l . There is a subtle difference: \encoding shows the encoding of the connection between psql and the server; while \l shows the encoding the database server will actually store the data in. While the first can easily be changed for a session, the latter can only be set when creating a database (or a cluster). -hannes -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
