RE: pgAdmin 4 V4.2 and non-unicode database

[Mathias Zajaczkowski]

Hi Soros,

 

During copy/paste operation the encoding can change.

It has nothing to do with pgAdmin but with the OS on which that operation is 
executed.

 

Hope it helps.

Regards

Hi!

 

Our database uses latin2 encoding. pgAdmin V4 displays all text correctly, but 
when I copy something from the SQL tab to the query tool, and run the query, it 
scrambles all accented letters in the stored texts, notably on comments on 
columns and texts in stored functions. This problem exists since V4.0 - 3.6 was 
OK. 

 

Version: pgAdmin 4 V4.2, Windows 10, firefox browser

 

Steps to reproduce: 

- create a database with latin2 encoding: 

     create database mytemp encoding='LATIN2' lc_collate='hu_HU' 
lc_ctype='hu_HU';

- create a table 

     create table mytemptable (id integer not null, tempdata text);

- create a comment on the database using latin2 encoding

     comment on table mytemptable is 'Árvíztűrő tükörfúrógép';

- copy the comment command from the SQL tab of pgAdmin4 v4.2 

- paste the copied command into pgAdmin 4 v4.2 query tool 

- run the copied command

- refresh the SQL tab of pgAdmin 4, and check comment on the table:

    COMMENT ON TABLE public.mytemptable IS 'à rvíztŹrő tßkÜrfúrógÊp';

 

I'm not sure this plain text e-mail can display the problem, I can make 
screenshots if requested. 

 

Thanks in advance:
