Re: PLEASE: I really need german characters - Mailing list pgsql-odbc

Nothing worked.
I have now tried a few things and nothing helped.

There must be a bug in the ODBC Driver!!!

If i use PGAdmin III to connect to the database i see "Umlaute" (=äöüÄÖÜ) CORRECT!
If i use the odbc driver i see only sh** (Möller should be Müller).
If i use psql on my linux box, i also can see all the (Umlaute) correct.
psql -l shows me, that the database is in SQL_ASCII (what should be ok - after 2 hours reading manual pages).

I have tried to encode the database in Latin9, Latin2, Windows1256 and unicode - didn't help
I have compiled the new 7.4 database - didn't help
I have set the clien_encoding parameter in postgres.conf - didn't help
I have written a VB Script (you can see it above) to access the database - didn't help

I am really +*++a#? with this sh*** odbc driver :-))

Best regards
Gunnar
