Re: unicode error on win32 Was: Re: pgmonitor

Hi Magnus,

the docmentation does not realy help me !

Client: Win2k, german language settings, SET client_encoding TO 'UNICODE'
Server: Win2k, german language settings, database with UNICODE encoding

I use PostgreSQL via ODBC and want to write and read strings containing
vovels.

I have read in the mailing lists, using UNICODE for the database works
??!??.
I have tried all other/many encoding combinations for server and client
allready, but nothing works !
