| Hello, I have two Unicode databases on two different versions of PostgreSQL (7.3.x and 7.4.x), and I have this odd issue on both of them... I am trying to read Latin1 strings out of them because some parts of my business logic do not support unicode. However, I just can't get the backend to do the transformation for me. I have tried both "set client_encoding to latin1" and \encoding latin1. The variable does get set properly, but selects still return only Unicode! I have the problem using both pgsql and Ruby DBI. I probably don't understand the big picture about the character encoding issue here so bear with me, but I'm pretty lost... |
