Apologies. I am using connection to PostgreSQL Ver 9.3.5 with PostGIS extension.

Yes, I am getting the same error, which is due to a MySQL specific query fired in the background when calling the import dialog:

SHOW CREATE DATABASE "schest";

Will see what I can do about that.

The SHOW CREATE DATABASE is only the first out of two errors happening here. The one causing the crash is a non existing method for getting all supported character sets in PostgreSQL. Like SHOW CHARSET in MySQL, is there a way to do that in PostgreSQL? I cannot find some working solution here. There is just a hardcoded list in their documentation, but Heidi needs to do that in a query.

I am getting out of my depth here but this seems to imply that SHOW is an extension. Maybe irrelevant to issue
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/sql-show.html

I have opened a ticket at 2ndquadrant.com. Probably they know some equivalent to MySQL's SHOW CHARSET.

r4808 should fix that. The excellent support from 2ndquadrant.com replied immediately (on a sunday evening!). HeidiSQL uses such a query now to retrieve charsets in PostgreSQL:

SELECT PG_ENCODING_TO_CHAR("encid") AS "Charset", '' AS "Description" FROM (SELECT "conforencoding" AS "encid" FROM "pg_conversion", "pg_database" WHERE "contoencoding"="encoding" AND "datname"=CURRENT_DATABASE()) AS "e";

Well done ansgar and 2ndquadrant.com.
