Hi All, I was going through the docs for Postgres 8 for info on setting the character set (to UTF8). In the docs here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/multibyte.html#MULTIBYTE-CHARSET-SUPPORTED I see: Since these locale settings are frozen by initdb, the apparent flexibility to use different encodings in different databases of a cluster is more theoretical than real. It is likely that these mechanisms will be revisited in future versions of PostgreSQL. One way to use multiple encodings safely is to set the locale to C or POSIX during initdb, thus disabling any real locale awareness. Does anyone know what "more theoretical than real" mean in this context? If I set the locale to C, is it going to work correctly with UTF8 encoded data? Thanks, -j -- Jamie Lawrence [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's strange to hear people like Gordon Liddy talking about morality.
