Re: Problems with UTF8 in PSQL

Hello,

When I experience the problem, the current Linux locale on my server is
fr_FR(at)euro(dot) Psql works fine if I change the current locale (by setting
the LANG shell variable) to fr_FR(at)UTF-8(dot)

I would be glad if psql may work fine without changing the LANG variable
in the current session.

Regards,
Thomas
