I don’t think it has anything to do with the data base as I can add fine
from pgadmin its an odbc question.

How do I tell the connection to use Unicode?

It worked ok using SQL_ASCHII also with the driver, but I thought if we get
a Chinese client down the road I couldn’t store those chars unless its
Unicode?

Hi,

I use LATIN1 encoding and it works fine with accented characters. So try 
creating your db with -E LATIN1 switch. Or even initdb -E LATIN1 if you
wan't 
your dbs default to that.

Best regards,

Aarni
