I use Postgres 7.1, FreeBSD 4.0
I configure, build and install it with:
./configure --enable-locale --enable-multibyte --with-perl
gmake
gmake install
initdb -E KOI8
The problem is: when database encoding and client encoding are
different then 'locale' features, such as 'upper' etc don't work. When these
two encodings are equal - all is OK.
Example, commets are marked by -->:
tolik=# \l
List of databases
Database | Owner | Encoding
-----------+-------+----------
cmw | cmw | ALT
template0 | tolik | KOI8
template1 | tolik | KOI8
tolik | tolik | ALT --> database 'tolik' has ALT (one of
russian) encoding
(4 rows)
tolik=# \c
You are now connected to database tolik as user tolik.
tolik=# \encoding KOI8 --> I change client encoding to KOI8,
another russian encoding
tolik=# select upper ('выбор'); --> argument is russian word in
lowercase
upper
-------
выбор --> result don't change
(1 row)
tolik=# \encoding ALT --> I set client encoding equals
to DB encoding
tolik=# select upper ('выбор');
upper
-------
ВЫБОР --> Now it works, result is the
same word in uppercase :(
(1 row)
I did'nt observe this feature in 6.* versions of Postgres.
Any ideas? Or help?
