Обсуждение: Bug Report
PostgreSQL RC4 Command prompt functions on Windows (Windows 2000 Professional - Spanish with SP4) still displays a message in the format: could not find a "functionname" to execute when executing a psql, pg_dump, createdb, createuser and some other functions. They work and do the required job, but display that message first. Psql even displays it twice. Another bug is in the ODBC driver included, which has been since the first beta releases of PostgreSQL 8 and it's that it doesn't handle correctly Spanish/European characters. The database stores them perfectly, but the ODBC driver doesn't read them, displaying a "?" mark where an accented work or a letter ñ should be, and truncating such word in that place. When updating, creating or deleting a recordset (through the ODBC driver), the following error is displayed: Insufficient base table information for updating or refreshing. # -2147467259 Elvis E.

Please copy & paste the exact message and commands executed. > Another bug is in the ODBC driver included, which has been since the first > beta releases of PostgreSQL 8 and it's that it doesn't handle correctly > Spanish/European characters.

Most likely, it's an encoding problem. Do you have client_encoding correctly set? Is the database using the correct server-side encoding? Please be aware that a there is a high quality spanish list (pgsql-es-ayuda); feel free to report there, with details added. -- Alvaro Herrera (<alvherre[@]dcc.uchile.cl>) Y dijo Dios: "Que sea Satanás, para que la gente no me culpe de todo a mí."

But I don't think it's a Postgres problem; maybe your shell is playing some games on you. I don't know a lot about Hasefroch command line utilities to help you more here. > About the ODBC problem, I don't think it's an encoding problem. > My database encoding is sql_ascii, which I'm being using since > postgresql 7.3.2, and worked perfectly.

With SQL_ASCII you should limit yourself to (7 bit) ASCII characters, or be bitten by Postgres' recoding capabilities. If you want to use non-ascii characters, you should declare your database as LATIN1 or LATIN9, or if it's a Hasefroch server maybe win125x, cp850, whatever. And your client_encoding should be set to the correct value, so that if there is gonna be character conversion, the results are what you expect. -- Alvaro Herrera (<alvherre[@]dcc.uchile.cl>) "La primera ley de las demostraciones en vivo es: no trate de usar el sistema.
