Dear all,

Can anyone help me understand where the problem stems from.

1) Is this a data perversion problem (=wrong UTF-8 sequences entered)? Then,
how can I fix it? Why did 7.1.3 allow the input of such data?

2) The data was created with pg_dump. It loads without problem in 7.1.3. But
not  in 7.2. Why?

3) Ultimately, please tell me if I can use ADODB odbc calls to migrate UTF-8
data using VB. Are there special settings required? Should I wait for a fix
in 7.2 or should I go for VB right now?

I am stuck and cannot work anymore (my new code is on 7.2, the old data is on
7.1.3). Thank you for your help,

Cheers,
