Обсуждение: BUG #4612: lc_numeric setting ignored

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      4612
Logged by:          Mark Hayen
Email address:      mark.hayen@atosorigin.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.3.5
Operating system:   Ubuntu 8.10
Description:        lc_numeric setting ignored
Details:

When setting the LC_NUMERIC to nl_NL.UTF-8 systemvariable at both the OS
level and the database itself (postgresql.conf), the database refuses to
accept a decimal comma.

psql output:

dimpact=# show lc_numeric;
 lc_numeric
-------------
 nl_NL.UTF-8
(1 row)

dimpact=# select totaalbedragaanslag from import.aanslag;
 totaalbedragaanslag
---------------------
               33.33
(1 row)

LC_NUMERIC only controls formatting functions, not raw input;  from the
manual entry on lc_numeric:

        Sets the locale to use for formatting numbers, for example
        with the <function>to_char</function> family of
        functions. Acceptable values are system-dependent; see <xref
        linkend="locale"> for more information.  If this variable is
        set to the empty string (which is the default) then the value
        is inherited from the execution environment of the server in a
        system-dependent way.

He Bruce,

Thank you for replying.
Does this mean that there is no way to do a "\copy from" using CSV files containing decimals with
a comma?

That is correct, sorry.
