Yes, I am sure  : I choose "PostgreSQL ANSI" (in odbc.ini) I get a good
result but  the bad <Ã"> result. I change odbc.ini to a unexistant
driver : I get an application error, then I choose "PostgreSQL Unicode",
and I get the same  bad <Ã"> result.

I do not know (as I do not know how to use pgsql). But I am sure that
the database is Unicode, and for exmple PGadmin III (either on the same
debian machine or on W7) reads it without problem.

Mmm, I am not sure to know what is "my" Client. I suppose that the
client of the DB is psqlodbc.
Or if you want to speak of my application, it is under wine in ANSI.
And I do not know who is responsible for translation, normally it should
be the unixodbc or psqlodbc...?
