hello to all, thanks for your answers i've changed the encoding using this:
ALTER DATABASE testdb
SET client_encoding = WIN1252;
now when we try to select data from a table we get this error:
ERROR: character with byte sequence 0xe2 0x80 0x8b in encoding "UTF8"
has no equivalent in encoding "WIN1252" SQL state: 22P05ERROR:
character with byte sequence 0xe2 0x80 0x8b in encoding "UTF8" has no
equivalent in encoding "WIN1252" SQL state: 22P05
i want to clarify that the postgres on dev is in a docker environment
that already have databases in it so we can't change encoding for the
hole container
You don't have to:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/manage-ag-templatedbs.html
Another common reason for copying template0 instead of template1 is that
new encoding and locale settings can be specified when copying
template0, whereas a copy of template1 must use the same settings it
does. This is because template1 might contain encoding-specific or
locale-specific data, while template0 is known not to.
thanks in advance

hello, I have an ETL process collecting data from a postgresql

If the data you are sending are encoded in WINDOWS-1252 (I assume that
"1952" is just a typo), you should set the client encoding to WIN1252,
so that PostgreSQL knows how to convert the data correctly.
You can do that in several ways; the simplest might be to set the
environment variable PGCLIENTENCODING to WIN1252.
