Dear Anthony,
pgAdmin2 is not multi-byte safe due to Visual Basic limitations.
On the converse, it is possible to use pgAdmin2 to design and manage a Unicode
database, provided that you automatically recode data client-side to a
supported charset (Latin9 for example as it support the euro symbol). Just
enter SET CLIENT_ENCODING = 'Latin9' in pgAdmin2 query editor.
To view Unicode data under Windows, the only solution is to :
- download and install the latest ODBC multi-byte driver from
http://odbc.postgresql.org
- use a unicode compliant application (ex : M$ Access2K).
Cheers,
