[SL] What client encoding goes with what chart of accounts?

[Bob G. <bo...@rc...>]

This is probably a dumb question, but here I am an english
speaker/writer trying to create a german language database.

This error occurred after attempting to create the sql-ledger database
with the Germany-DATEV-SKR03 chart of accounts.

No multibyte encoding was selected.

Error!
INSERT INTO gifi (accno,description) VALUES ('0000100', 'Aufwand
Gesch=EF=BF=BDftsbetrieb')
ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xe46674
HINT: This error can also happen if the byte sequence does not match the
encoding expected by the server, which is controlled by
"client_encoding".

--------

Next step...

I went back to the datasete creation screen and selected Unicode UTF-8
from the drop down menu.

Clicking continue, I get:

Error!
CREATE SEQUENCE id start 10000
ERROR: relation "id" already exists


---------

Going back to the beginning (my usual mode of operation), with:

template1=3D# DROP DATABASE "sql-ledger";
DROP DATABASE
template1=3D#=20

I then have to go back two steps to the create database screen.

But, alas, I get:

Error!

FATAL: database "sql-ledger" does not exist


Of course it does not exist. I am trying to create it. Why the error..
