I did not get you on this. My DB cmdb is in UTF-8 already, do I still need to change the password and test it?
 
I tried to use ALTER USER to change the password, for some reason the sql command is not displaying the japaneese charecter properly and I tried using the buffer file but the buffer file was default to ANSI format and it is not accepting UTF-8 format..
 
any thoughts?
 
Thanks,
Shivender

 That would not help if you were connecting to a database with SQL_ASCII
encoding (which defeats all encoding intelligence).  I'd suggest
connecting to cmdb with psql and issuing an ALTER USER command to
 set the user's password again.
