Hi,
I'm new here. I work on a site that uses postgres version 8.1.5 and
database encoding ISO_8859_8. When I sort select requests using order by
the "weight" of the characters seem to be really funny (but consistent).
It seems to me that if I create a "phantom" converted field such as:
SELECT field convert(field, "ISO_8859_8" ,"UTF8") as field_utf8 ORDER BY
field_utf8;
Then the sort will be OK however, I get the error:
Query failed: ERROR: character 0xd7 of encoding "ISO_8859_8" has no
equivalent in "UTF8".
Is it due to a "bad" character in the content?
Can I get rid of it like find/replace?
Can I change collate for a given table/database?
You can use only one encoding per database. It means you convert data from UTF8
to ISO_8859_8, but you store it back into UTF8 encoded field. Probably strcoll
function is confused with illegal UTF8 character which has been created by your
conversion.
