Обсуждение: LATIN2 ORDER BY
Hi ! My problem is that i have LATIN2 encoding in my postgres and ISO-8859-2 charset on my linux, but when i'am ordering strings in psql with acutes it does not work properly... (psql version = 7.1, linux = debian woody) Example: SELECT name FROM table ORDER BY name; Aaaaaa Bbbbbb Áááááá ... I have set evrything on my linux, the 'locale' settings are good, the keyboard and console settings are working well, with acutes characters, but in the psql it doesent work... Can you help me or sending a link or a reference in the documentation, cause i cant find anything about this just a few row about the locale setting ? This is a Linux problem or just a setting in the postgres ? What should i reconfig do correct this problem ?

Are you sure that postmaster process does run with this locale? Typically debian postinst script takes care of it, but it can fail if locales package wasn't configured yet when postgresql package is installed. These two items are required by postgres to operate correctly with charsets other than SQLANSI. I've had no problems when I began to take them into account with any of various cyrillic charsets, since 7.1.0 Actually, only LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE categories are needed. BTW, version of postgresql in Debian woody is 7.2.1 So it is strange, that you have earilier one. Have you installed it from Debian package or build by hand? If later, it is better to revert to Debian version. -- Victor Wagner vitus@ice.ru Chief Technical Officer Office:7-(095)-748-53-88 Communiware.Net Home: 7-(095)-135-46-61 http://www.communiware.net http://www.ice.ru/~vitus
If you seted locales after initdb, then you can have this problem. Try dump data, remove files in db directory (/usr/local/pgsql/data), check locales again :->, and initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data.
