RE : [SQL] Convert text from UTF8 to ASCII

Hi

Perhaps you should try to set your db client_encoding to UTF8.

How do you know you have 'patiënt' instead of 'patiënt'?
I mean i also deals with UTF8 databases and all i store is correctly stored. But i can't check it with command line psql as my shell is configured with iso-8859-1 charset.
So with psql i will also see 'patiënt' even if 'patiënt' is correctly stored!
Perhaps your problem is as simple as that!?

Sebastien.

That looks a lot like UTF-8 to me. What is your client-encoding?
