This appears to have been fixed. See:- https://github.com/tds-fdw/tds_fdw/issues/83 However, I don't follow "how" the UTF-16 data is being transformed to UTF-8. I know that I'm thick (at times). If the SQL Server data is in Simplified Chinese (say), how do you convert it? Postgres handles some multi-byte codings:- WIN932 --> SJIS WIN936 --> GBK WIN949 --> UHC WIN950 --> BIG5 So you can run createdb specifying one of those encodings, lc_collate, etc. HTH, Rob -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
