[GENERAL] Posgresql to MSsql encoding problem
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi All, I have this PHP script that simply dumps (inserts) data from a Postgresql server to a customer's M$SQL server. The database in the PGSQL server is UTF-8 encoded where the M$SQL database uses LATIN1. Accents, as expected, turn to gibberish... :( I cannot simply use Set Client Encoding to LATIN1 as the client itself is the script ... :) Is there a simple way to circumvent this? Already thankful for any info, Best regards, Pedro Doria Meunier -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkrPEukACgkQ2FH5GXCfxAv9LwCeIsLcr7wwcBTzvXqM/ufYysUK yQ8AniNYuAjQAEktUt7OCS7lZl4kz92f =qBrj -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

If you really can't do this, how about using ALTER USER to change the the user that they use latin1 by default? -- Sam http://samason.me.uk/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Sam, Thanks for your answer! :) The matter of fact is that the script itself is the connected client where the postgresql server is concerned. It then connects to another server (the M$SQL one) and, on a row basis, inserts data coming from the aforementioned connection... So, to all effects, the script is *the* client... :) Best regards, Pedro Doria Meunier On 10/09/2009 02:38 PM, Sam Mason wrote: On Fri, Oct 09, 2009 at 11:39:47AM +0100, Pedro Doria Meunier wrote: I cannot simply use Set Client Encoding to LATIN1 as the client itself is the script ... :) What does this mean? surely if it's just a script you can put another line at the beginning of the script that says this?

Just issue a pg_query(set client encoding yadayada;) at the beginning. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
