Hi everyone,
I am running Postgres93.app (v 9.3.1). I'm new to Postgres, but experienced
with MySQL and *nix. I'm having a problem with the command line client "psql"
while connecting to postgress.app running on the localhost on OS X. It's
behaving as if somewhere a character encoding is set incorrectly, but as far as
I can tell, 'UTF-8' or 'UTF8' is correctly set everywhere.
If I enter a unicode character in the psql cli, such as:
user=# select 'ö';
But before hitting enter, use the keyboard "left" button to move the cursor
across all the way to the left edge, and then back all the way to the right,
the output get distorted and looks like this:
user=#select 'ö';;
If I do hit enter - the command works fine, so the problem is on the
display/client side.
Here's why I think all my encodings are set correctly:
user@hostname:~ $ locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
user@hostname:~ $ psql
psql (9.3.1)
Type "help" for help.
user=# \encoding
UTF8
user=# \l user
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding | Collate | Ctype | Access privileges
--------+--------+----------+-------------+-------------+-------------------
user | user | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 |
Also if, from my OS X terminal, I ssh into a linux box and run 'psql', the
problem does not reproduce. So I'm fairly certain my terminal is not the
problem.
Can anyone reproduce the problem, or have any advice about something I've
missed?
Thanks,
Chris
