PostgreSQL version: 08.02.0100
Operating system: Windows 2000 Server Japanese
Description: Issue with INSERT INTO for japanese katakana characters.
Details:
INSERT INTO statement fails through SQLExecDirect() for a varchar field
where the value ends with japanese katakana character tsu 'ã'
I tried to run a statement from the application(VC 7 win32 console
application).
INSERT INTO Sample_TABLE (Field1) Values('ç¦æ¢ãããã³ã³ãã³ã');
This fails. The result persist for any other japanese string ending with
'ã'.
I'm using odbc driver 'psqlodbc35w.dll' of 8.2.1.0 version. I upgraded it to
8.2.4.0. Still no change.
The server_encoding is set to UTF8. Client_encoding is set to UNICODE in the
database.
However the insertion is successful while trying to insert from pgadmin.exe.
And the same fails using SQLExecDirect().
