HELP - Accessing SQL_ASCII from Java

  <br />Dear Fellow Developers and Hackers, <p>After installing PostgreSQL 6.5.2 (on my Sparc 7) and configured as
follows:<br /><b>“--with-mb=UNICODE”</b><p>I am getting a truncation of some varchar columns.  When accessing a
PostgreSQL <b>table1</b>.  I get this error in my postmaster window: <p><b>“ERROR: Conversion between UNICODE and
SQL_ASCIIis not supported”</b><p>And this error in my DOS window (which Visual Café Database Edition uses to run
appletsfrom):<b></b><p><b>“The maximum width size for column 2 is: 17”</b><p><b>table1</b>: <br
/><tt>+------------------------------------------------+</tt><br/><tt>!     Field     !     Type         !  Length    
!</tt><br/><tt>+------------------------------------------------+</tt><br /><tt>! <b>data_code</b>     !    
varchar()   !    15       !</tt><br /><tt>! <b>data_field</b>    !     varchar()    !    43       !</tt><br
/><tt>+------------------------------------------------+</tt><p>Frommy PC Java GUI, running in Visual Café, I am able
toenter a full 15 character string into <b>data_code</b> but I get the following error when I try to enter a 43 (or
greaterthan 17) character string into <b>data_field</b>: <p><b>“Invalid value for the column data”</b><p>and it
truncatesthe data I enter to 17 characters. <p>From a psql prompt on the same Sun that is running the postmaster I can
change(select) the table without the truncation and no mention of UNICODE!
<p>+__________________________________________________________________________+<p>Without UNICODE configured I got the
followingerrors: <p>From the Postmaster: <p><b>"ERROR: MultiByte strings (MB) must be enabled to use this
function."</b><p>FromVisual Café: <p><b>"The maximum width size for column 2 is:
17"</b><p>+__________________________________________________________________________+<p>Any suggestion will be greatly
appreciated,even a work around.  What I want to do is just access SQL_ASCII and leave UNICODE alone! <p>Sincerely,
<p>Allan<br />  <br />
