Hi Venki

This isn't really the right list for support questions, you might be 
better off with the general or odbc lists.

In your case I'm guessing your Windows system isn't supplying UTF-8 but 
some other character set. Certainly that is what the error message 
implies. Note PG handles UTF-8 but not UTF-16 or other encodings.
