[GENERAL] Locale problem
Hello PG support, Recently i am facing locale problem in postgres 8.3. In my home machine i have 8.4 which have db schema as CREATE DATABASE impulse_travel WITH OWNER = postgres ENCODING = 'UTF8' LC_COLLATE = 'English_India.1252' LC_CTYPE = 'English_India.1252' CONNECTION LIMIT = -1; But in production server we are limited to postgres 8.3 only. So while creating db i cant able to provide LC_COLLATE , LC_CTYPE . So i did initdb initdb -W --locale=en_IN --lc-collate=en_IN --lc-ctype=en_IN --lc-messages=en_IN --lc-monetary=en_IN --lc-numeric=en_IN --lc-time=en_IN -D /var/lib/pgsql/data4 but even then it seems it doesnt set. I used test query as select 'Rs.6,000.00'::money; this returns value in home pgsql 8.4 server but in the production server it throws error as template1=# select 'Rs.6,000.00'::money; ERROR: invalid input syntax for type money: Rs.6,000.00 I want to know whether it is possible in postgres 8.3 and if yes where i went wrong? Thanks in advance, Arvind S Many of lifes failure are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. -Thomas Edison

On Linux you can see your locales using 'locale -a'. On my Linux I have these ru_RU.*: ru_RU ru_RU.iso88595 ru_RU.koi8r ru_RU.utf8 I would try 'initdb --locale ru_RU.utf8' (or any other with specified encoding) and set the same encoding for the database (= in this example 'UNICODE'). Then the sorting should be correct. I'm just a newbie for PostgreSQL so somebody might explain it more precisely. People, help pls to megrate to PG 8.01 properly Thanks, and have a nice day!!
