After installing 7.4 I created database completely from scratch with cyrillic locale:
su postgres export LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.KOI8-R export LC_COLLATE=ru_RU.KOI8-R /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /db2/pgdata
You need to go:
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /db2/pgdata -E KOI8
To set the default encoding to KOI8.
Then I switch off to my normal account. At this point I have:
/e:1>psql -l List of databases Name | Owner | Encoding -----------+----------+----------- template0 | postgres | SQL_ASCII template1 | postgres | SQL_ASCII (2 rows)
Locale and encoding are two quite different things.
