The database definitely was in en_US.ISO8859-1 locale, even if you thought otherwise. That information comes from inside the pg_control file, which is CRC-checked, so it's highly unlikely that corruption of pg_control would have resulted in this message. I think it's much more likely that you lost the files that setlocale needs to define this locale. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
