Thanks Tom, for your suggestions. We started the cluster up with this command: ./initdb -D /usr/local/postgre/data -E UTF8 -U sir
The rest of the variables related to encoding (locale) are: lc_collate=C lc_ctype=C lc_messages=C lc_monetary=C lc_numeric=C lc_time=C Could you tell me which more info could I give you? ________________________________ De: Tom Lane <t...@sss.pgh.pa.us> Para: Sergio Calero. <angusyou...@yahoo.es> CC: "pgsql-sql@postgresql.org" <pgsql-sql@postgresql.org> Enviado: Jueves 13 de septiembre de 2012 16:19 Asunto: Re: [SQL] underscore pattern in a query doens't work "Sergio Calero." <angusyou...@yahoo.es> writes: > I'd like to execute a query using the underscore as a pattern. > select id,etiqueta from limites_municipales where etiqueta like 'Garaf_a'; > [ but this fails to match 'Garafía' ] I suspect what you have here is an encoding problem. That is, probably the "í" is represented as a multi-byte character (most likely UTF8) but the server thinks it's working with a single-byte encoding so that any one character should be only one byte. You didn't say what your encoding setup is, so it's hard to do more than speculate. > PostgreSQL 8.4.1 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.4.6 > 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-10), 64-bit You do realize this is about 3 years out of date? The 8.4 series is up to release 8.4.13, and a lot of those updates contained fixes for serious bugs. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-sql mailing list (pgsql-sql@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-sql
