[Bacula-users] Encoding

[Gordon Neumann]

Hello,

i want to know if anyone has experience with database encoding at Bacula
3.0.2-3.
Its a lenny-backport package.
system configuration:
os: debian lenny
bacula: 3.0.2-3 lenny-backport
database: PostgreSQL 8.3

My question in detail.
The database bacula on my postgreSQL-server has encoding level UTF-8.
Bacula in this version requires SQL_ACSII.
Is there any chance to say bacula it should use UTF-8 instead of SQL_ASCII?
It is no option to change encoding of database to SQL_ASCII for us, we
still want to
use UTF-8. Maybe there exists any configuration file i've not found yet
or any other
surrounding to solve this problem?

Many thanks and kind regards!

If you want to use utf-8 database you can create your database based on a utf-8 enabled template.
check the create-database script. Quiet easy to hack.

BUT

If you save inside anything else than proper utf-8 filename & path : you loose.

Check the mailing archives in users & dev about the subject

SQL_ASCII is recommended unless you can insure that nobody will ever
create a non-UTF-8 filename.
