Hi,

>my impression was the other way arround ;-)

Then I'm either misreading your e-mail, or you've switched the examples
around?

What application is show " ö " and what isn't? And is that valid?

Hi,



Looks like ISQL is right and EMS SQL Manager is wrong.

Subject: [firebird-support] Charset in ISQL: How to show special characters








Hello,



due to an import problem the database contains some records with wrong
special characters.



The database runs on ISO8859_1. When I select the records in EMS SQL Manager
(also configured for ISO8859_1) it shows following data:

K”cher

Sttzen

Tr„ger



In ISQL (isql localhost:myDB -u SYSDBA -p 'blabla' -charset ISO8859_1) it
shows:

Köcher

Stützen

Träger



What needs to be done to get the same picture in isql as in the other tool?
The motivation is to fix such data with an isql script. In this case I don´t
get an matching records if query for



SELECT * FROM LPP_ISTSTUNDEN WHERE iststunden_code = 'K”cher';



Thanks



Niko
