[postgis-users] postgis-users Digest, Vol 194, Issue 4

Hi All,

Thanks for replying.

The data is being read from SQL Server, where it is encoded in Latin1.  I'm reading it from SQL Server, and writing it to postgis using a .NET process.  I'm not doing anything special to convert from one character set to the other, so maybe that's the problem.

Aaron

Bonjour,

Il faut que l’application qui ouvre le fichier avec les données sources le fasse avec le même code page que celui qui a été utiliser pour écrire les enregistrements du fichier source. Attention, il existe des limites connues comme un fichier source écrit avec plusieurs code page, ou encore, les caractères du code page du fichier sources ne sont pas tous transposables vers le code page de la base données.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"

Hi,

I'm trying to create a spatial layer in GoeServer using postgis.  The problem is that there are a few special characters in the name column (rivers and streams in New Mexico).  In Zuni river, for example, the N has a tilde character over it.  So the labels are all wonky.

What Encoding and Collation would prevent this?  I tried WIN1252 and English_United States.1252, but that prevented me from installing the ogr_fdw extension, and that seemed to preclude the use of UpdateGeometrySRID(), which I need.

Thanks.

Aaron

If something from one character becomes two or more characters, you're dealing with multibyte encoding, most likely UTF-8.

IIRC, postgres/gis tables are UTF-8 by default.  That's probably the best option to use to avoid hassles, and to be more stable long-term.

If you are having problems, I suspect that the issue is what encoding your source data was/is in, and what process you used to import it.

Can you do it again? What process did you use? Do you know what encoding it was in?
