we have a mix of older software still using LATIN1 as db encoding and the

running two server instances would use up more resources(?) than just one we'd
like to have all dbs in one cluster. Which cons against this solution are
there? Which operating system locale should be used then? C locale is
recommended in the docs - also because of better performance. However, the
language of the software is not English but German - so shouldn't there be
problems with sorting German Umlauts etc. correctly etc.? Which encoding should
the server have - UTF8/Unicode or LATIN1? BTW which is the correct locale for
LATIN1 and German (de_DE (my guess) or [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which seems to be for
LATIN9)). Using SQL_ASCII doesn't seem to be a wise choice. Are there no
problems when connecting with psqlODBC-ANSI drivers if the server encoding is
UTF8/Unicode? I'd be happy if you could enlighten me a bit.
Set your locale to de_DE.utf8 and use UTF8 as server encoding.
I would be interested to know where the documentation "recommends" using
the C locale. That would certainly not be reasonable for many uses.
