Re: Strange client encoding issue

Ivo, thank you for responding.
I know what the error message is saying.
The database encoding is Latin1.
I do not know where the Latin9 encoding is coming from, since I do not
have anywhere any settings calling for a Latin9.
The database is accessed both by a php script on box as well as a remote
ODBC connection.
>From the frequency of the requests, I am inclined to believe tht it is
the emote connection. Unlike 8.1, 8.2 is not tagging the log message
with the IP address of the client connection, so I cannot even ascertain
the source of the error :(
