Hi,

i also didn't receive a reply on a similar questions. The way i thought it would work is:
1) Unicode-encoding DB
2) char, varchar etc. fields.

but, in reality, with that set up i wasn't able to insert even non-English, but still ASCII chars, let alone Unicode chars. I'm pretty sure it's possible, but still don't know how.

Sincerely,
r.

Hi
 
Can anybody tell me how I can configure PostgreSQL to accept the Arabic character set in it's "text" data type.  I had some problems getting it to accept special characters like the German umlaut characters.
 
Any help much appreciated
