The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 1775 Logged by: Marcus Raphelt Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: latest Operating system: WinXP (dev), Win2000 (server) Description: UTF8 to ISO does not convert the german "sharp s" (ß) Details:
Hi, I currently have a iso_8859_1 app and included the opengeodb tables to have a set of german cities and zipcodes. http://opengeodb.sourceforge.net/index.php?FrontPage_en I downloaded this dump: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/opengeodb/opengeodb-0.2.3c-UTF8-postgres. zip?download They offer a Postgresql dump that can be imported without hassle, but is in UTF8. I did several attempts using convert() to convert the city names to iso. It works, and it also works fine on german umlauts (äöü), but it seems like convert() does NOT convert the german "Ã" / sharp s / ß... cheers, marcus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
