Wish it would work... when I do it, I get: ERROR: character 0xc3bd of encoding "UTF8" has no equivalent in "WIN1251" ********** Error ********** ERROR: character 0xc3bd of encoding "UTF8" has no equivalent in "WIN1251" SQL state: 22P05 The DB is storing it UTF8, but it is really 8859-1... I need to force PG to think that it's 8859-1 in spite of what it thinks it may be...
