You mentioned nothing about what platform this is or how you've built the program, and nothing about operating system locale. If this is a Windows program (you mention PuTTY), I'd read up on differences between what are known as "Unicode" and "Multibyte" encodings on MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2dax2h36.aspx Of course, this is a total stab in the dark, but then people with the problem that you describe don't tend to be on *nix systems as a rule. As someone said upthread, if Postgres does that then it's because the bytes you sent aren't what you think the are when rendered as UTF-8. -- Peter Geoghegan -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
