See PostgreSQL > > documentation "Installation on Windows" for details. > Attached are two patches: - installdoc.patch contains an additional paragraph on the win32 console codepage for the chapter "Installation on Windows" Due to a lack of SGML-tools, I have only edited the text and not tested the SGML code - please check it before merging into the CVS branch. - psqlcodepage.patch adds the warning about a problematic codepage to psql.

<application>psql</application> is compiled as a "console application". As
|
||||
the win32 console windows use a different encoding than the rest of the
|
||||
system, you must take special care when using 8-bit characaters (eg. german
|
||||
Umlauts) at the <application>psql</application> prompt. When
|
||||
<application>psql</application> detects a problematic console codepage, it
|
||||
will warn you at startup. To change the console codepage, two things are
|
||||
neccessary:
|
||||
|
||||
<variablelist>
|
||||
<varlistentry>
|
||||
<listitem>
|
||||
Set the codepage with <userinput>cmd.exe /c chcp 1252</userinput>
|
||||
(1252 is the german value, replace it with your value). If you are using
|
||||
cygwin, you can put this command in <filename>/etc/profile</filename>.
|

</listitem>

</varlistentry>

Set the console font to "Lucida Console", because the raster font
|
||||
does not work with the ANSI codepage.
