Hello,
I am using Postgresql 7.4.2 and its JDBC drivers, straight out from a FC2,
along with JDK 1.4.2 from Sun.
I use the JDBC driver in a web app using Enhydra appserver. Java correctly
sets its file.encoding property to the charset specified in the LANG
environment variable. However, it appears that whatever i set this
variable to, the JDBC driver seems to use UTF-8.
I have digged into the code, and seen that in the
AbstractJdbc1Connection.java class, the encoding is always forced to
"UNICODE" (therefore forcing UTF-8 on Java side).
>From that, i patched the code to correctly use the file.encoding system
property to guess the charset.
As i didn't dig very long, and as it seems from what i see in cvsweb at
gborg that all this stuff could have changed deeply, i am not sure that
this would be useful to you. However i downloaded the latest dev builds at
jdbc.postgresql.org, and it seems the bad behaviour is still there.
So, did i miss something somewhere ? Are you interested in that (frankly
quite ugly) patch ?
Regards,
Alexandre Aufrere
