ok, so my current database (7.4.12) is UNICODE, but from psql when i run
this
show client_encoding;
client_encoding
-----------------
UNICODE
SELECT identifier from dba_data_base where bioassay_id = 1291 and
identifier ilike '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
identifier
--------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (0A11)
so the mu chatacter is not showing up. So im not sure if the database is
converting the output?
(sorry, i am probably sounding very dim here!)
thanks again for your help
