Hi,

I am testing the SpatialKit extention for ArcGIS which uploads data into 
Postgresql. When uploading into the database there is not an option to specify 
encoding types. Usually I choose "latin1" over "UTF-8" because latin1 enables 
the use of german characters (ä,ö,ü andß) .... although i have never understood 
why I should this instead of UTF-8 which apparently also contains these 
characters.

Anyway...The tables created by the SpatialKit extention seem to cause a problem 
with these characters. In order to test if the problem really is to do with the 
encoding, I would like to change it to latin1.

How can I do this in postgresql on a postgis table?

cheers,

Rob
