Python psycopg2 not in utf-8

Question

I use Python to connect to my postgresql data base like this:

conn=psycopg2.connect(database=\"fedour\", user=\"fedpur\", password=\"***\", host=\"127.0.0.1\         


        

Answer 1

Does the value get inserted correctly when query is executed via command prompt?

If yes, then the problem is with your cursor execution.Try cur.execute(u"querystring");(The u indicates utf encoding)

If no, then you need to set the encoding type of postgres to consider utf-8. You can refer character encoding in Postgres to see how to set default character encoding for a database, and on-the-fly conversion from one encoding to another.
