Well the problem with SQL_ASCII is that pgAdmin really has no clue how to interpret anything other than chars 0 - 127 (pure 7 bit ASCII), so what you get is largely down to how the OS/Widget set decide to interpret such characters. The only real fix is to convert to another encoding, such as utf-8. You might just have to bite the bullet and give it a try. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgadmin-support mailing list (pgadmin-support@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-support
