Re: ODBC and encodings problem

There is a project of an ODBC driver that uses libpq at Command Prompt...

This is an answer I got a few weeks ago.

We are all looking forward to trying it. But licencing and deadlines are not really clear at the moment.

Objet : Re: [ODBC] ODBC and encodings problem

Does this mean I have to initdb my cluster again? I tried to do this on windows with 'initdb --encoding=LATIN1' but it hang on 'selecting default max_connections ...' I'm looking into this now. Not sure if it's an encoding problem or something else.

What I was wondering was, why does the ODBC driver act differently to Zeos or pgAdmin III? Zeos and pgAdmin both use the libpq client library which I suppose is the standard. Is there a way the ODBC driver could be hacked to give the same response as libpq or am I simplifying this too much.
