Hello,
my database encodes data as utf8. The data I want to select contains
characters like äöü.
If I select some columns and change the encoding to latin1, then I get
the following error message:
select created, keywords from requests;
ERROR: Could not convert UTF-8 to ISO8859-1
If I set the client encoding to utf8 by entering "\encoding utf8",
then the same select will print all the columns bu display
ÃŒ for ü
ö for ö
and mess up other "special characters". The version of my postgres
installation is 7.2.1 on woody/debian.
Why does postgresql issue the error message "ERROR: Could not convert
UTF-8 to ISO8859-1", when I execute a select statement after I changed
the client encoding to latin1 ???
