Subject Input of special characters in isql not possible
Author skoczian
I'm using firebird 1.5.3, OS is Linux (Ubuntu 6.10). The default
character set of my database is ISO8859_1, the default character set
of the system is UTF-8.

When testing queries in isql I can't enter special characters (ä, ö,
ü, ß and the like) at all - I just get a beep, no character. Changing
the character set in the terminal doesn't help, entering "set names
ISO8859_1' or "set names UTF-8" doesn't help.

The keyboard setting is german (without "nodeadkeys"). Working in the
terminal I can enter special characters, only in isql that doesn't work.

How can I change this?

Thank you,
