Yes. I'm sure that we are using LATIN1 on both. ServerA works, but ServerB not. 
We changed the local of ServerA(as it is a testing server) the same as ServerB, 
but ServerA still works. Quite strange.

when database uses different encoding, than is specified in cluster's
initialization, then lower, upper doesn't work.

FWIW, I think we've got 8.3 fixed so that it will reject combinations
of locale and encoding that don't work.  It's a bit tricky because of
the fact that locale processing isn't too well standardized :-(

yes, postgresql support different encodings, but this configuration is
useless with non C locale.

check locales. Functions lower and upper works only with correct locales.

show all;

lc_collate  | cs_CZ.UTF-8
...

cs_CZ is for czech and UTF-8 for utf8 encoding

Are you sure you're using LATIN1 on both?

js=# \l
List of databases
   Name|  Owner   | Encoding
---+--+--
 js| cww  | UTF8
 test  | cww  | LATIN1
[ ...snip... ]

js=# SELECT lower('ÉÈ');
 lower
---
 éè
(1 row)

js=# \c test
You are now connected to database "test".
test=# SELECT lower('ÉÈ');
 lower
---
 ÉÈ
(1 row)

It seems the UTF8 database performs lower() correctly, but the LATIN1 
database does not.

Hi, there

In our database, some customers' names contain French accent like
 É,é,È,è. In one server, case-insensitive search works for capital letters. For 
example,
SELECT lower('ÉÈ') could return éè . But the other server cannot.
 
It is very strange, as the two server use the same Fedora linux, and
 the same
 version of Postgres(8.2.4). We all use LATIN1 encoding.

Could you give me a hand? Thank you very much.
