hallo somebody,
what do the functions "encode" and "decode" expect as arguments ?
I was puzzled when I got the following:
pgdocsample=# \encoding
SQL_ASCII
pgdocsample=# select decode('hallo','SQL_ASCII');
ERROR: No such encoding as 'SQL_ASCII'
What have I understood wrong ?
Fritz

Decode is working. The message is complaining about the encoding you
have for the session.
