I have partyally win this feature with this 'magic' way. I configure,
make, install and initdb under locale, correspondings to database
encoding. If I wont ALT encoding I use ru_RU.CP866 locale. Then all
'locale' featureas are working. But this is some strange way.

Probably there is nicer method?

[HACKERS] locale and multibyte together in 7.1

[Anatoly K. Lasareff]

I use Postgres 7.1, FreeBSD 4.0

I configure, build and install it with:

./configure --enable-locale --enable-multibyte --with-perl
gmake
gmake install

initdb -E KOI8

The problem is: when database encoding and client encoding are
different then 'locale' features, such as 'upper' etc don't work. When these
two encodings are equal - all is OK.

Example, commets are marked by --:

tolik=# \l
  List of databases
 Database  | Owner | Encoding 
---+---+--
 cmw   | cmw   | ALT
 template0 | tolik | KOI8
 template1 | tolik | KOI8
 tolik | tolik | ALT -- database 'tolik' has ALT (one of
 russian) encoding
(4 rows)

tolik=# \c
You are now connected to database tolik as user tolik.
tolik=# \encoding KOI8   -- I change client encoding to KOI8,
 another russian encoding
tolik=# select upper ('×ÙÂÏÒ');  -- argument is russian word in 
 lowercase
 upper 
---
 ×ÙÂÏÒ   -- result don't change
(1 row)

tolik=# \encoding ALT-- I set client encoding equals
 to DB encoding
tolik=# select upper ('×ÙÂÏÒ');
 upper 
---
 ÷ùâïò   -- Now it works, result is the
 same word in uppercase :(
(1 row)

I did'nt observe this feature in 6.* versions of Postgres.

Any ideas? Or help?
