The database is web-based. The character set of my values is latin1, but when I browse the Database the values are shown in UTF-8. Does cygwin generally deliver values in UTF-8? Can I change it somehow? The values should be encoded in latin1. > To make it clearer: I don't want to change the character set in the console, but in the work process of cygwin. > I hope, I could explain my problem and I'm curios to get tips. perl or cygwin per se do no encoding with your database data. This is a matter of the perl module and database client and server you are using. So you are better asking at perlmonks -- Reini Urban -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
