In general, refer to "8.13.2. Encoding Handling" and "Chapter 22. Localization" on v8.3.5 documentation. Then you could use either the "\encoding" or the "SET client_encoding TO ..." into psql, the "PGCLIENTENCODING" environment variable or the "client_encoding" main configuration argument. Moreover you can check from psql and pl/pgsql the current client encoding with SELECT * FROM pg_client_encoding(); I hope any of these will help. -- Fahrbahn ist ein graues Band weisse Streifen, grüner Rand -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
