in reply to Oddities in UTF-8 and DBD::Pg?

Have a look at the test programs 40UnicodeRoundTrip.t and 41Unicode.t of DBD::ODBC, and especially at the dumpstr() function in the helper module UChelp.pm. Most likely the strings you pass to DBI are not Unicode strings, but byte sequences representing UTF-8, which are interpreted as legacy character strings.
