Обсуждение: [GENERAL] character encoding of the postgres database
Currently, the postgres database by has SQL_ASCII encoding.
psql -p 5771 postgres -l
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding | Collate | Ctype | Access privileges
-----------+---------+-----------+---------+-------+---------------------
postgres | sandeep | SQL_ASCII | C | C |
template0 | sandeep | SQL_ASCII | C | C | =c/sandeep +
| | | | | sandeep=CTc/sandeep
template1 | sandeep | SQL_ASCII | C | C | =c/sandeep +
| | | | | sandeep=CTc/sandeep
(3 rows)
Is it possible to start the postgres database with UTF-8 encoding, instead
of modifying it later.
Thanks
sandeep

This is done when initdb is run, with the --locale and/or --encoding option. -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services

See Peter's post, just remember that SQL_ASCII is essentially no encoding so be prepared for issues. I would test before doing this on live data. > > Thanks > sandeep > > -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@aklaver.com
