I tested this on another box with Debian unstable installed (this includes
PostgreSQL 7.1.2).
When I use psql to enter umlaut characters everything is fine. pg_dump and
gtksql show proper results. Even pgaccess displays the characters
correctly. But when I enter the characters in pgaccess or update a record
I entered with psql I get this "garbage" again.
I examined this a bit more closely and it seems that the characters are
translated like this:
"a: <C3><A4>
"o: <C3><B6>
"u: <C3><BC>
"A: <C3><84>
"O: <C3><96>
"U: <C3><9C>
"s: <C3><9F>
I get the same results when I enter the data using Tksql as suggested by
Sandro.
This seems to be related to tcl or tk. Am I the only one with this
problem? What can I do about this?
TIA,
Lars
