Hello again,
Problem below solved if in fact PgAdmin only displays UTF8.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello group,
Any suggestions as to how to fix this are greatly appreciated.
My setup is Vista, locally installed Postgres 8.4.6 in default folders with
db initialised as (server_encoding) UTF8, and databases created with default
encoding of WIN1252. My application program is behaving correctly using
libpq.dll. pgAdmin is configured with Preferences=>Font = Tahoma
windows-1252 and Query=>Font = Tahoma 9 windows-1252.
The test case:
1. Create a text file test.txt containing 1 line of 2 characters: éÉ (acute
accented lowercase and uppercase e, hex(E9C9), valid win1252 characters.
2.
CREATE DATABASE dbtest
WITH OWNER = postgres
ENCODING = 'WIN1252'
TABLESPACE = pg_default
LC_COLLATE = 'French_Canada.1252'
LC_CTYPE = 'French_Canada.1252'
CONNECTION LIMIT = -1;
3. Open query window to database dbtest and import the file test.txt...
4.
CREATE TABLE test
(
col_descr text
)
WITH (
OIDS=FALSE
);
ALTER TABLE test OWNER TO postgres;
set client_encoding = 'WIN1252';
COPY test FROM 'C:\\pgtemp\\test.txt' with delimiter as '|' csv;
select * from test;
5. Results (no errors reported):
--- col_descr
-- ----------------
-- (1 row with nothing displayed, but the length of
col_descr = 2)
6. If I execute the query:
set client_encoding = 'UTF8';
select * from test;
The correct results are displayed.
Is there a way, in PgAdmin, to to display the results when client_encoding
is set to WIN1252 ?
