Here is the content of my .odbc.ini for PostgreSQL on Mac:
[code]
[postgre]
Driver = PostgreSQL Unicode Driver
host = localhost
ServerName = localhost
SERVER = localhost
PORT = 5432
UserName = postgres
Password = <my_passwd>
Database = draft
UseServerSidePrepare = 1
[/code]
As you can see there is no special encoding settings. So it uses one
that is set by default.
But using ODBC API works and trying libpq - doesn't.
Could someone please help?
Thank you.
