Hi! Windows 7x64, PG9.0, PGAdmin 1.12.1.
First I sent this problem to PGADMIN support list, you can see it, but I repeat the description. http://archives.postgresql.org/pgadmin-support/2011-04/msg00012.php I tried to fillup a text field with all ANSI characters chr(1)..chr(255). Except 0 because it is string limitator in C. This experience is based on that I want to check, how the row encoded in "Backup" (how to COPY eat this). But when I tried to see the row in PGADMIN, I got this error: ERROR: character 0x81 of encoding "WIN1250" has no equivalent in "UTF8" ********** Error ********** ERROR: character 0x81 of encoding "WIN1250" has no equivalent in "UTF8" SQL state: 22P05 I reported this to PGADMIN list, but Dave said: That error comes from PostgreSQL, and is entirely expected if you try to store non-printable characters in a text column, and then convert it to UTF-8 (which is what happens when pgAdmin requests data). PostgreSQL is extremely strict about enforcing the correctness of unicode data. Interesting thing that I have Win1250 context with Win1250 db. I think that is unacceptable to cannot see the row. EMS PG Manager can show the row, but may it do something in other way - I don't know.
