Hi.

I'm using Firebird version 1.5.1.4481 on Linux SuSE 9.2.
I've a database with the default character set ISO8859_1 and SQL dialect 3

When I start up isql on the linux machine I set first

> SET NAMES ISO8859_1;

then i connect to the database.

> connect 'blabla' .....

Then I want to insert a new record with an umlaut.
But it doesnt work.
If I press an umlaut nothing happens, no character is seen in the isql
console.
On the linux textconsole I can use öäå without problem.

Anyone knows what I am doing wrong or if I'm missing something?
Do I have to set a special environment variable like LC_TYPE or
something like this?


Best regards,
Jörg Schiemann
