Hi,

I read the faq about the problem where pgadmin won't display data if it cannot convert the data due to an encoding issue.

I have a table created under Latin1. When doing a select * from that table and exporting the results to a file pgadmin was dropping a row without warning. That row was being displayed within a pgadmin window and one of the columns did have data in it that appeared to not be converting correctly.

By selecting the export encoding method of utf-8 and then exporting the result that row would appear in the file. If no default method was selected or the local charset selected (probably utf-16 since this is on WinXP) the row would not be exported to the file.

Shouldn't pgadmin generate a warning that all rows were not exported or abort the export process instead of silently removing the row?

Mike
