Обсуждение: cp1250 problem
Hello, How can I set PostgreSQL locale and encoding to be pl_PL.cp1250 all I can do is pl_PL.UTF-8. I have PG 8.2.4 on Ubuntu 10.04 (polish version). -- Łukasz Brodziak "What if everyting around You isn't quite as it seems, What if all the world You think You know is an inelaborate dream When You look at Your reflection is that all you want it to be What if You could look right through the cracks Would You find Yourself......

If i had known earlier i would have implemented UTF since day one. UTF-8 support is pretty mature, so i dont see any reason for people to hold back to ISO encodings (in year 2011!) The locale for your whole cluster is defined in postgresql.conf. (and i believe the value is inherited by the ENV variables at initdb time) Now each database has its *own* encoding. psql -l lists who has what. > -- > Łukasz Brodziak > "What if everyting around You isn't quite as it seems, > What if all the world You think You know is an inelaborate dream > When You look at Your reflection is that all you want it to be > What if You could look right through the cracks > Would You find Yourself......

There are no code pages in Ubuntu. The nearest what you can get seems to be encoding LATIN2 ( and a compatible locale ). These charsets are NOT identical though. > The locale for your whole cluster is defined in postgresql.conf. Not really - LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE are set during initialization of the cluster by initdb. You can verify the settings with pg_controldata: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/app-pgcontroldata.html As of PostgreSQL v8.4 you can specify these two locale settings different from the server's settings (for each database). If you plan to upgrade your PostgreSQL major server version beware of the removal of some implicit data type casts among other changes as of 8.3. Peter
