Re: JDBC bug?

I found the following bug:
Connect to database with password that contains special chars (E.g.: Nyárfa10) DriverManager.getConnection( dbUrl, user, pwd); will fail with: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "xy"

jdbc driver: 8-3-603 with 8.3.6 postgresql
From pgadmin connection is good with 'Nyárfa10' password.


A change to fix this has been made to the 8.4 driver series, so you will need to try the 8.4dev release. It sends the password in UTF-8, which means you must set the password when connected to a UTF-8 database so it gets stored that way it the database.
