Denis, It sounds like an encoding problem. You can check the encoding of the db by using \encoding in psql.
There is a section in the docs on this http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?multibyte.html Dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Denis Bucher Sent: October 1, 2001 4:42 PM To: PGSQL-JDBC Subject: [JDBC] Accents bug ? Hello ! BIG problem ;-) When INSERTing a value like "Genève" it works, but when doing a SELECT the fields are troncated when containing acents : "Genève" is received as "Gen" "Thé froid" as "Th" "Hosomaki végétarien" as "Hosomaki v" and so on ... Does someone knows if it is a but in the driver or another problem ? Thanks alot in advance for any help :-) Denis Bucher NiftyCom P.S.
