When uploading into the database there is not an option to specify encoding types. Usually I choose "latin1" over "UTF-8" because latin1 enables the use of german characters (ä,ö,ü andß) .... although i have never understood why I should this instead of UTF-8 which apparently also contains these characters.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway...The tables created by the SpatialKit extention seem to cause a problem with these characters. In order to test if the problem really is to do with the encoding, I would like to change it to latin1.</div><div><br></div><div>How can I do this in postgresql on a postgis table?</div><div><br></div><div>cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Rob</div></div></body></html>
