Обсуждение: problem with Win1251 (Cyrillic)

Dear Postgre team,

=20

My name is Mladen Mitev.

I downloaded and installed Postgre SQL 8.0.1 and I found that it did not wo=
rk with Win1251 (Cyrillic). It did not translate the capital and small lett=
ers.

These commands did not work:

 ILIKE

 lower()

 upper()

By example:

1.

create table t1 (c1 varchar(15) )

2.

insert into t1( c1) values ('=F0=D2=CF=C2=C1')

3.

select lower( c1), c1 from t1

=20

output :

'=F0=D2=CF=C2=C1'=20

it should be:

'=D0=D2=CF=C2=C1'=20

=20

I would like to consult me how to solve this problem?

I am looking forward your prompt reply.=20

=20

Thank you in advance,

Mladen Mitev

These are controlled by your locale defined by initdb (look for
LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE output from the command pg_controldata) _and_
the encoding you used to create the database.  For the above to work
both have to be Win1251.  Our documentation goes into detail about this.
