Hi all,
We have a product with a PostgreSQLdatabase (unicode)
It has a (legacy) client app that uses client_encoding = win1521
The legacy app will be around for several years.
It cannot change to unicode.
There also is a new client app, written in java.
It uses client_encoding = unicode.
The problem: if someone inputs a non-win1252 character via the new java
app, the legacy app fails.
PostgreSQL returns an error: character blabla of encodig UTF-8 has no
equivalent in WIN1252.
What are my options to stop the legacy app from failing?
-Is there a setting to tell PostgreSQL to fail the character gracefully
by substuting it?
-Should i filter out all non win1252 charachters at the new java app and
substitute them? (not so nice, i'd like to have the chars in the db)
-?more?
Greetings, Joek
