Hi, we have troubles with German umlauts (e.g.: äüÖ) using the Postgresql JDBC driver form the 7.1.2 distribution... already tried to debug our Java software but it seems that the database driver modifies the umlauts in any way - a debug before any INSERT or after a SELECT query shows that the umlaut "ü" for example gets lost on the way though the JDBC driver... So e.g. the attribute city='München' gets "M\?nchen" when testing the JDBC driver using a simple Java program. Any idea what happens?
