Lossy character conversion to Latin-1

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a client that only supports Latin-1 and needs to connect to a UTF-8 database to retrieve some data. Some columns may contain characters that have no Latin-1 equivalent. I would like to convert these to a blank or perhaps some hex value. Is there any way to do this in PostgreSQL without using anything other than built in functions or pl/pgsql? It would be nice if the built in convert function had an option to handle this rather than only generating an error. Any pointers to an existing pl/pgsql function to perform this conversion?

Thanks,
