Accessing the database

Prior to accessing a PostgreSQL® database, you must set the proper code page for Windows® platforms.

The PostgreSQL interactive terminal (psql) is built as a “console application”. The Windows console windows use a different encoding than the rest of the system, so you must take special care when using 8-bit characters within psql. If psql detects a problematic console code page, it generates a warning at startup.

Examples of cases when you must run this command include:

•
Connecting to the embedded database to check the database status or data.
•
Backing up and restoring the PostgreSQL database.
To change the console code page:
1
Set the code page by entering the following command:
cmd.exe /c chcp 1252
where: 1252 is a code page that is appropriate for German; you must replace it with your value.
2
Set the console font to “Lucida Console”, because the raster font does not work with the ANSI code page.

For more information, see “Notes for Windows Users” in the PostgreSQL documentation at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/app-psql.html.
