Thread: postgres 7 and eastern language

Hi,

i would like to know what i have to do to make postgres 7 store some eastern languages with their particular letters. like czech, slovak, and so on....

i'm sure that some unicode possibilities exist but which ones ?
basically, end user will type some text including these special characters and i would like to be sure to store them in postgres DB perfectly.

thanks a lot,

Maileen

It worked for me for Portuguese characters using Unicode.  I also tried
some Japanese that I cut & pasted on my application by the time and it
worked fine.

You can always find some text in such idioms, cut & paste in your
application or INSERT command and see if it is preserved exactly the same
on the database.
