Dear friends, Recently, several pgAdmin3 users complained about missing accentuated characters. The problems mostly came from the ASCII database encoding, which provides arbitrary storage of accentuated characters.
During installation of a Debian station, I noticed that the Debian initialisation script asked the user to define a default database encoding. This reduces the risk for choosing an ASCIII database. Are there plans to make such an initialisation script default in PostgreSQL? I was not able to read discussions about the InitDB script. Maybe such a solution is on the way... Maybe the script could check the locale and propose an appropriate database encoding.
