Subject: bug report: initdb failure on Microsoft Windows if path to initdb contains special chars
Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2025 13:57:29 +0000
Message-ID: <5e8129efb9f44dbd8ee72323f0ed3f0a@aktivweb.de> (raw)

Hi,
I’d like to report an issue concerning initdb on Microsoft Windows if running initdb.exe from a directory that contains special chars like German umlauts. The error message is: FATAL: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xf6 0x63 0x6b
Version used: 17.2 official Windows binaries

Best regards
Bernhard Stöcker

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
