upper/lower for german characters

[Andrei Bintintan]

Hi to all, I have the problem that:

select lower('MöBÜEL') or select upper('MöBÜEL') are not working well.

I read on some forums that there is some locale setting that needs to be done here, but could not fix this.

I am using the ASCII encoding.

 

Please advice.

Thakx.
Andy.

Hi, Andrei,

By definition, ASCII does not contain any umlauts.

So I would advise that, first, you switch to an umlaut capable encoding
(e. G. Latin1, Latin9 or UTF-8).

HTH,
Markus
