How to change console code to 1252?
git-bash, postgresql, windows
Solution
Try "chcp.com 1252".
Git bash doesn't suppose ".com" as a implicit executable postfix. It can't expand "chcp" to correct executable, so you should type fully "chcp.com".
Problem
I am trying to use PostgreSQL on Windows 8 using the command line provided by Git Bash so I can run Unix like commands. When accessing Postgres with the following command: `psql -U postgres` I get: Warning: Console code page (850) differs from Windows code page (1252) etc... in the Windows command tool, I just need to type `chcp 1252` before accessing Postgres so the warning doesn't show up. What's the equivalent command in unix/git bash? I tried to do `chcp 1252` or `chcp` from Git bash but it outputs: sh.exe": chcp: command not found Any ideas?
