Ok. What was I thinking, the "curved single quote" that you talked about is the apostrophe. It makes sense now. Thanks Mary

Well, 0x93 is certainly not an english letter; most likely it's a win1252-encoded curved single quote. That's not within the ASCII definition. You can probably insert the data by declaring SET client_encoding TO 'win1252' at the start of the file. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
