<div><font face="'courier new', monospace">Ctype: en_US.UTF-8</font></div><div><br></div><div>Maybe that en_US prefix is what's giving me problems, though I've been using that collation/CType for over two years now against geoserver and php with little problem.</div>

</div>I'm not that sure to fully understand yet where you problem occur,<br>
<br>
Could you activate the tinyows log and send here the content of the log<br>
related to your problematic query<br>
<br>
Could you also indicate in which encoding your postgresql datase are<br>
(with psql -l command)<br>
<br>
Tks,<br>
