hi, I have setup postgres db with WIN ecnoding (i.e. win1251)...but when i enter data the cyrillic is not preserverd and all that goes in/out the DB is garbage-characters ? Why is this that way is there any solution ? I'm entering data via web-perl app and via pgadmin3 .. if any additional info is needed ? gentoo dev-db/postgresql (7.4.6) apache 1.3/mod_perl ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
