I do not understand why. The ASCII code for '<' is 0x3c, not 0xab. I am not sure what you are actually typing; although it's suggestive that the LATIN1 code 0xab corresponds to a symbol that looks approximately like '<<'. The most likely bet is that you are typing the wrong thing and using a terminal emulator that is not set to generate UTF8-encoded characters. You should try to make sure that client_encoding is set to match what your keyboard actually generates. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
