Hi,
There is a bug(?) report about \l command of psql.
(Example) PostgreSQL-7.0RC1
A_server : configure (in USA) B_server : configure --enable--multibyte (in Japan)
By using the B_server's psql,
prompt> psql -h A_server ERROR: Multibyte support must be enable to use this function
prompt> export PGCLIENTENCODING='SQL_ASCII' prompt> psql -h A_server Welcome to psql, the PostgreSQL interactive
terminal.
Type: \copyright for distribution terms \h for help with SQL commands \? for help on internal slash
commands \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query \q to quit
postgres=# \l ERROR: No such function 'pg_encoding_to_char' with the specified attributes
