You can't change it; it's set for the life of all databases. Use pg_dumpall to save all data. Destroy all databases and $PGDATA itself. Set and export the desired locale in LANG. Use initdb to recreate $PGDATA; then restore the dumped databases. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP: 1024R/32B8FAA1: 97 EA 1D 47 72 3F 28 47 6B 7E 39 CC 56 E4 C1 47 GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon."
