Hi! I have this problem that Im not sure if my stored data has the correct coding. When I view the data from a postgres console I just see the characters and depending on my console-encoding it looks differently. What I really want to see is the hexadecimal or octal value of the bytes of the retrieved data. Can postgres give me this somehow (without exporting tables to files and look at the files). /br joynes -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Find-out-encoding-of-data-tf4549554.html#a12983073 Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org/
