hello to all, thanks for your answers i've changed the encoding using this:
ALTER DATABASE testdb
SET client_encoding = WIN1252;
now when we try to select data from a table we get this error:
ERROR: character with byte sequence 0xe2 0x80 0x8b in encoding "UTF8"
has no equivalent in encoding "WIN1252" SQL state: 22P05ERROR:
character with byte sequence 0xe2 0x80 0x8b in encoding "UTF8" has no
equivalent in encoding "WIN1252" SQL state: 22P05
i want to clarify that the postgres on dev is in a docker environment
that already have databases in it so we can't change encoding for the
hole container
thanks in advance
