Hi
I am trying to load shapfiles into the postgreSQL9.0. The database encoding is UTF8.
My shapfiles coming from Sweden, so there are some Swedish alphabet in the fields name and also inside columns data.
I used this command to load shapfiles:
C:\Pragram Files\PostgreSQL\9.0> shp2pgsql -s 2400 –c –W LATIN1 C:/project/Mandana/OBO/WSPbackground_shp/Primärkartan.shp |psql –U postgres OBO
I could insert shapfiles which do not have Swedish alphabet in their fields name or data inside the columns, but I could not load others that have Swedish alphabet.
I get this ERROR:
invalid byte sequence for encoding “UTF8”:0xe4726b
Any help would be so appreciated.
Vänliga hälsningar
