Hmm, I suppose one place could be on initdb if initializing with a UTF-8 locale, although that only really helps with fixed settings like LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE and the defaults for the user-configurable settings, right? For the configurable settings I guess logging as warnings on server start up or when they're changed via SET. But then there's all of the other places, like when using COLLATE and using locale-aware functions and so on and so forth. It would be a lot to cover, I'll bet. I guess maybe initdb, start up and SET warnings and a note in the docs would hopefully suffice? -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
