Hello,
I have a mapfile UTF8 encoded wich reads data from an UTF8 PostGIS table (note
the NON ASCII labelitem "varietà":
#---------- start layer vig_camp_2004----------
LAYER
NAME "vig_camp_2004"
CONNECTION "host=localhost user=*** password=*** port=5433
dbname=database"
CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
TYPE POINT
DATA "the_geom from vig_camp_2004"
LABELITEM "varietà"
TEMPLATE "ttt"
STATUS default
CLASS
NAME "punti di campionamento"

OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0

FONT "arial"
OUTLINECOLOR 192 0 0

END
END
PROJECTION
"init=epsg:3003"
END
METADATA
DESCRIPTION "Campionamenti 2004"

This is the error:
msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'vig_camp_2004'.
prepare_database(): Query error. Error executing POSTGIS DECLARE (the actual
query) statement: 'DECLARE mycursor BINARY CURSOR FOR SELECT
varietà::text,asbinary(force_collection(force_2d(the_geom)),'NDR'),gid::text
from vig_camp_2004 WHERE the_geom && setSRID('BOX3D(1490836.03506098
4967565.5,1541436.33993902 4995227)'::BOX3D,
find_srid('','vig_camp_2004','the_geom') )'
Postgresql reports the error as 'ERROR: column "variet�" does not exist '
------
Note that the same DB and the same mapfile works fine on my local ubuntu
dapper (which is more UTF8 ready) but fails on my producion server which is
Debian based (and more LATIN9 oriented)
I tried to set default client encoding to UTF8 on the server but it did'nt
help.
It's clearly something to do with mapserver passing the query with the wrong
encoding or postgres not recognising it correctly.
Any hint would be highly appreciated.
