Hi Dave,
my general situation is:
We developed and distribute a standard BPM-System. The documentation for the user describes how to load and install PostgreSQL. We must make the steps to use PostgreSQL easy as much as possible ! To write "load PostgreSQL 8.0.1 and ODBC driver 7...." seems to fussy for me. How are the plans of the community ? Will a version be distributed with a working ODBC driver for UNICODE ?
p.s. The standard distribution 8.0.1 works on Windows-XP platforms without fine. The encoding problems arise on w2k platforms only !
As far as I'm aware you are the only person seeing such a problem with the driver - ever since we went back to having two seperate drivers, all the encoding related complaints vanished overnight.
Perhaps you could expand on the details of your environment a little. What encoding is used on your clients? What about the server?
Regards, Dave
