Re: unicode error on win32 Was: Re: pgmonitor - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi Magnus,

the docmentation does not realy help me !

Client: Win2k, german language settings, SET client_encoding TO 'UNICODE'
Server: Win2k, german language settings, database with UNICODE encoding

I use PostgreSQL via ODBC and want to write and read strings containing vovels.

I have read in the mailing lists, using UNICODE for the database works ??!??. 
I have tried all other/many encoding combinations for server and client allready, but nothing works !

I use a database with UNIBASE encoding too. Writing strings 
in unicode with german vovels does not work. We access the 
database via the ODBC driver.

What kind of documentation do you mean with You may check 
your documentation ?

Best regards,

	To your question: afaic the win32 port currently has some issues
	with the right support of unicode. You may check your 
documentation.
	Do you think its a good idea to actually name objects 
in the database
	in a foreign encoding? I'd stick to english language 
names here because
	it makes chatting about problems/hints much more easy 
on mailinglists.
