Re: Bug? was: Re: ERROR: could not convert UTF8 character

Thank you ver much for you responase.

Yes, I had to change the client encoding for Postgres 8.1 (I had
forgotten) to Latin1 because of a client encoding mismatch error while
using the ODBC drivers on Windows. Stupid of me. Sorry for the bother -
I changed the client encoding to UTF8 and it works now (not sure whay it
was not working a month or so ago).

Cheers,
JP
