As far as I know, UTF-8 is the standard encoding used by MSSQL. ISO8859-1 is LATIN1, so the system is trying to convert (as the error message says) from utf-8 (SqlServer) to ISO8859-1 ( LATIN1 ). So I think you have to search on the MSSQL side, not PostgreSql... You can also use UNICODE encoding on postgres, creating your DB with CREATE DATABASE mydb ENCODING='UNICODE'; Hope this will give you some hints to solve the problem Regards, Roberto Bjørn T Johansen wrote: I am trying to copy data from a MSSQL srv to PGSQL srv 8 using Delphi under Windows... But I just keep getting this error... Why? (My PGSQL server is using LATIN1) And how do I get around this? BTW; I see in the log for my PGSQL server that someone is setting Client encoding to UTF-8, but I am not... Is this some default setting in pgodbc or? I can't find any place to change this value....
