Hi,
I found out that apparently in PGSQLKit there is an error in PQescapeStringConn or the way it is being used.
From the docu I take it this is to prevent SQL injection attacks. I removed any processing and it turned out the issue ceases, all works fine.
The call is here:
-(NSString *)sqlEncodeString:(NSString *)toEncode
{
return toEncode;
//size_t result;
int error;
char *sqlEncodeCharArray = malloc(1 + ([toEncode length] * 2)); // per the libpq doc.
const char *sqlCharArrayToEncode = [toEncode cStringUsingEncoding:defaultEncoding];
size_t length = strlen(sqlCharArrayToEncode);
PQescapeStringConn ((PGconn *)pgconn, sqlEncodeCharArray,
(const char *)[toEncode cStringUsingEncoding:defaultEncoding],
length, &error);
NSString *encodedString = [[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%s",sqlEncodeCharArray] autorelease];
free(sqlEncodeCharArray);
return encodedString;
}
This indicates that the problem is in PGSQLKit and not in any settings for tables or the database itself. So I take it to the Cocoa list at Apple.
Thanks and regards
Alex

Sorry, there is a copy-paste error, actually the code really is:blablablaconst char *cString = [sql cStringUsingEncoding:defaultEncoding];if (cString == NULL) {//This just catches cases where cString failed to encode.}res = PQexec(pgconn, cString);Am 22.03.2012 um 09:02 schrieb Alexander Reichstadt:Hi,I need to be able to store special chars, German Umlaute, in my tables. This works when using pgPHPAdmin to store the same value to the same field.

The defaultEncoding I also changed explicitly from defaultEncoding to UTF8 to try, but got the same result. As far as I can see this is not an error on part of the PGSQLKit.From what I read there is no table specific encoding.The collation is set to C, but that's something only relevant to sorting as far s I understand.So, I am at a loss as to where things go wrong.Any ideas?Thanks
