Re: How to create database with default system locale is set to et_EE.UTF-8

My application.

dpkg-reconfigure locales
Generating locales (this might take a while)...
  en_US.UTF-8... done
  et_EE.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
*** update-locale: Warning: LANGUAGE ("en_US:en") is not compatible with
LANG (et_EE.UTF-8). Disabling it.

psql postgres
psql (9.1.1)
Type "help" for help.

postgres=> \l
