Re: UNICODE

I only want this query to work under Unicode:
SELECT * FROM test WHERE source_content ILIKE '%accepté%'.

PostgreSQL is compiled with UNICODE and LOCALE support.
Unicode is used on both ends (PostgreSQL and psql).

According to the on-line manual, only MULE provides instant transcoding.

Nice to hear it works when transcoding files to UTF-8. It shows it is not a 
back-end problem.

As for me, I typed INSERT INTO source_content VALUES ('Permis de conduire 
accepté') in Psql.
Psql does not insert the data and I have to kill it manually. Can you 
reproduce this?
