PostgreSQL version: 8.3RC2
Operating system: Windows Longhorn
Description: Create Database with another encoding as the encoding
from postgres
Details:
I installed postgres with the encoding 1252. After this, i started the
program createdb (createdb -E LATIN1 -O postgres -p 5555 -U postgres). The
program stopped with the error message: createdb: database creation failed.
Error: encoding LATIN1 does not match server's locale German_Germany.1252
DETAIL: The server's LC_CTYPE setting requires encoding WIN1252.
With the former version 8.2, i can create a database with other encoding
