Issue/Introduction

pdm_extract with German umlaut does not work

For example:

pdm_extract -f "select * from ca_location where location_name like 'AB-1234 Havünd%'"

Cause

UTF-8 support or the relevant code page is not enabled on the system.

Resolution

There are two possible solutions:

 

1. From the command prompt execute "chcp 65001" in cmd.exe and then run the pdm_extract command.
2. Reconfigure the language settings for the system and then reboot before running the pdm_extract command.
