I use PostgreSQL with French data (names, addresses, etc). > I gonna continu to search why it doesn't work... You should give details such as commands attempted and error messages obtained. > I would know how to set the encoding (unicode, ASCII, etc.) I use Unicode (actually, "UTF-8" would have been a better name) because the database stores names in other languages, that you cannot express with Latin-1. I use the type TEXT and I can store and retrieve UTF-8 names (mostly via Python programs) and basic operators like LIKE work fine (for instance, _ matches one Unicode character, not one byte, which is the right thing).

French is covered both by Latin9 and Unicode. Don't use Latin1 - it's missing the French OE ligature.
