Hi to all,
I am currently using PostgreSQL 8.0.3
My Database uses SQL_ASCII encoding.
I have a program in Visual Basic that connects to PostgreSQL using ODBC
Connection through File DSN.
I insert a text in one fields of my table.
For example, I insert a special character to that field.
Let's say a character of 150 ASCII code. Which looks like a hypen.
When I retrieve the value of that field it gives me a question mark
character instead of that 150 ASCII code character.
What could be the possible reason of this?
Is there a setting in the database configuration to understand that such
special characters?
Please..I really need an answer to this..
Thanks You.
