Postgres : PGCLIENTENCODING

gmb · Post by **gmb** » 13.10.2009, 19:19

Hi all

I'm getting the following message when trying to connect to Postgres server:
[quote]SQL Error: invalid encoding name in PGCLIENTENCODING: WIN1252[/quote]

Delphi 6 application with Zeos 6.1.5 on Windows 7 (64x), PostgreSQL 8.3

I tried re-installing PG using different encoding, but had no luck.

Postgres forums informed me that the message is not one of theirs. Probably a Zeos message then?

Any help would be appreciated.

Seems all that was necessary was a restart of the server :(
...wish I hadn't spend the whole day on this

invalid encoding name in PGCLIENTENCODING: WIN1252

Only this part was from postgres. The prefix is added by zeoslib hen handling a SQL error. So the postgres forums were right, but ont completely.
