Обсуждение: Insert Unicode
Hi all, I have created a UNICODE database using the 7.2.1. But I am not sure how to prepare an insert script to insert double byte unicode data (e.g. Chinese) to the tables. I tried to run the script under PGAdminII and also psql directly but always encounter problem say invalid UNICODe. Any escape character required? Anthony

If you run the database unicode, the default encoding is utf-8. So either prepare your imports with that encoding or switch the frontend-encoding with set client_encoding to 'your-encoding-here' Regards Tino

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).

Unfortunately, Java Unicode notation is not supported. This would be so easy...
I finally use a JDBC client to insert the data to the database. But I found it is more convenient if we can insert the datadirectly using psql. Any way to specific the Unicode character just like Java using \u ?

I would love to see this feature. Cheers, Jean-Michel
