Actually, it's a wording issue:
ASCII:   7-bit
Extended ASCII (Latin 1):   8-bit

Personally, whenever i say ASCII, i usually mean Extended ASCII.

Hello,

I am confronted with a little problem in pgadmin III:

Table cells and comments on database objects are not properly displayed if they contain a german umlaut.
The table cells just contain ", the comments (on tables,
for example) are completly empty.
In pgadmin II everything is okay, if I connect via
ODBC/Access to the tables, the umlauts are properly
displayed, too.

Plattform for pgadmin: Win 2000
Database: Postgres 7.3.2 on Debian Linux Woody (3.0),
Database encoding SQL_ASCII

^^^^^^^^^^

This is wrong. You cant have Umlauts with ASCII.
If you input them, you violate the ASCII codeset,
wich is 7 Bit only.
You'll have to recode your data to ISO8859-1
(Latin-1) or any superset (UNICODE)
Then pgadminIII works as well as any other
application. For migration or your apps
they should just set their client_encoding
to iso8859-1 then (if you choose UNICODE)
