Hi everyone,
I am running Postgres93.app (v 9.3.1). I'm new to Postgres, but experienced with MySQL and *nix. I'm having a problem
withthe command line client "psql" while connecting to postgress.app running on the localhost on OS X. It's behaving as
ifsomewhere a character encoding is set incorrectly, but as far as I can tell, 'UTF-8' or 'UTF8' is correctly set
everywhere.
If I enter a unicode character in the psql cli, such as:
user=# select 'ö';
But before hitting enter, use the keyboard "left" button to move the cursor across all the way to the left edge, and
thenback all the way to the right, the output get distorted and looks like this:
user=#select 'ö';;
If I do hit enter - the command works fine, so the problem is on the display/client side.
Here's why I think all my encodings are set correctly:
user@hostname:~ $ locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
user@hostname:~ $ psql
psql (9.3.1)
Type "help" for help.
user=# \encoding
UTF8
user=# \l user
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding | Collate | Ctype | Access privileges
--------+--------+----------+-------------+-------------+-------------------
user | user | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 |
Also if, from my OS X terminal, I ssh into a linux box and run 'psql', the problem does not reproduce. So I'm fairly
certainmy terminal is not the problem.
Can anyone reproduce the problem, or have any advice about something I've missed?
Thanks,
Chris
