Re: FW: Libpq - multibyte character support

CREATE DATABASE name ENCODING = WIN1256

THIS MAY BE THE SOLUTION
ALSO YOU CAN PROBE WITH :
ALT, LATIN1 TO LATIN9, EUC_CN, EUC_JP,EUCCREATE DATABASE name ENCODING =
WIN1256

THIS MAY BE THE SOLUTION
ALSO YOU CAN PROBE WITH :
ALT, LATIN1 TO LATIN9, EUC_CN, EUC_JP,EUC_KR......................

I WAIT THIS BE USEFULL
_KR......................

I WAIT THIS BE USEFULL
