I had the same issue using odbc, but .net you can use encodeing = unicode, so not sure what you are using to do the connection. Since I am using ODBC with my ASP I had to switch from Unicode to SQL_ASCHII for my data base. In effect it tells the database you don’t know about the encoding and makes some of the routines like upper not work properly on extended chars.

Is there any way around this problem? -- Regards/Gruß, Tarlika Elisabeth Schmitz ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
