Re: [ADMIN] Change postgresql encoding

Hello Adrian,

Not sure if this is what your looking for insofar as a solution but have you taken a look at this page from the documentation.

Hi,
I have a new postgresql installation done, it has utf-8 encoding.
I have to make a Oracle database migration and it has ISO8859-15
encoding, should I change postgresql encoding to same Oracle encoding or
with utf-8 it should go well?
If I want change postgresql encoding, I have understood that I should
reinstall postgresql (I do installation from rpm official binary files
for red hat), someone knows say me if when you install software it asks
you for choosing encoding or it puts it from what you have in the
system? (I did installation from many time ago and I don't remember it).
Thanks beforehand.

What version of Postgres?

9.3.4

 

What version of RedHat?

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5

 

P.D.: I've tried change encoding to a new postgresql database to latin9,
but it gives me error for having utf-8.

What was the command you gave?

CREATE DATABASE xxx

  WITH ENCODING 'LATIN9'

       OWNER=xxx

       TEMPLATE=template0

       LC_COLLATE='es_ES.latin9'

       LC_CTYPE='es_ES.latin9'

       CONNECTION LIMIT=-1

       TABLESPACE=xxx;

 

What was the exact error message?

regional configuration name not valid <<es_ES.latin9>>

SQL state: 42809

I've tried es_ES.iso8859-15 and same error.

I'm using pgadmin III 1.18.1 for running querys. When I run "SHOW client_encoding;" it shows UNICODE.

 

Regards...

Thanks beforehand.

If I set encoding to latin9, lc_collate and lc_ctype to 'C', database is created correctly, but I'm not sure if it is ok :-? I want have database with iso8859-15 encoding.

My system has, when I run 'locale', the next:

LANG=es_ES.UTF-8

LC_CTYPE="es_ES.UTF-8"

LC_NUMERIC="es_ES.UTF-8"

LC_TIME="es_ES.UTF-8"

LC_COLLATE="es_ES.UTF-8"

LC_MONETARY="es_ES.UTF-8"

LC_MESSAGES="es_ES.UTF-8"

LC_PAPER="es_ES.UTF-8"

LC_NAME="es_ES.UTF-8"

LC_ADDRESS="es_ES.UTF-8"

LC_TELEPHONE="es_ES.UTF-8"

LC_MEASUREMENT="es_ES.UTF-8"

LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_ES.UTF-8"

LC_ALL=

Thanks beforehand.
