My first time using unicode. Based on reading other messages I think I've got it all setup correctly but still have prob. Running: psql 7.3.6-RH
$ psql -l List of databases Name | Owner | Encoding -----------+----------+----------- devdb | devuser | UNICODE template0 | postgres | SQL_ASCII template1 | postgres | SQL_ASCII I've tried two different table structures: CREATE TABLE airport_code ( airport_name character varying(70), airport_code character varying(10), ) ; and the same but with "text" instead of character varying. For both I get the same results when I try to: INSERT INTO airport_code ( airport_name, airport_code ) values ( 'Zurich (Zürich) - Kloten', 'ZRH' ) ; I get: psql:airport_codes.sql:1728: ERROR: Invalid UNICODE character sequence found (0xfc7269) Obviously I'd like to keep the proper German spelling. What am I missing? Gotta figure its me...cause PG is so damm good otherwise. Tx, D --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
