Hi All,
I'm getting some problems with UTF8 and Pgsql for some days. In the 8.3 version these problems became worse.
In the new version,
=> select convert(f0601_desc, 'UTF8', 'LATIN1') from f0601;
gives: ERROR: ... convert(character varying, unknown, unknown) don't exists
and
=> select convert(f0601_desc::bytea, 'UTF8', 'LATIN1'),f0601_desc from f0601;
gives:
convert | f0601_desc
-------------------+----------------
\343 | ã
(1 registro)
And I dont know what to do with a "\343".
I really wanna do something like:
=> select f0601_desc from f0601 where to_ascii(convert(f0601_desc::bytea, 'UTF8', 'LATIN1')::text,'LATIN1') like 'a';
gives: (0 registro)
What should I do? I'm thinking create a DB with LATIN1 encoding, but UTF8 is better (should be :) ).
Thanx for help.
