Hello,

Actually, both the server and client sides have been setup encoding "latin1".

I am trying to read data from one DB and save to another DB. When I tried to read data from one DB (using postgresql-8.0-310.jdbc3.jar), it seems that I lost all my French characters (they become ?).

Also, I am *not* able even to *paste* french characters from PSQL terminal.

I am thinking should I make some changes about my terminal drivers to allow French characters?



(Note: I already tried
  javac -encoding ISO-8859-1
  java -Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1 test
When compiling and running my java programs
)

Thanks a lot,
Emi









SET CLIENT_ENCODING TO 'LATIN1' ;
SELECT * FROM table1 ;

Your database woul be coded as LATIN1.

I tried to google but cannot find much info about it. Can somebody help?
