Re: [GENERAL] initdb: invalid locale name sv_SE.ISO-8859-1
Thanks for the advice, I tried to install the language-packs that ubuntu supports. I can no initialize a se_SV.utf8 cluster, but it seems there is no support form latin1. Best whishes /Ragnar ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
[GENERAL] initdb: invalid locale name sv_SE.ISO-8859-1
Hi, When I try to initialize a new cluster like this: /usr/lib/postgresql/8.1/bin/initdb --locale=sv_SE.ISO-8859-1 -D sv_SE_data/ I get the error: initdb: invalid locale name sv_SE.ISO-8859-1 This is on Ubuntu that it fails. It works fine on my slackware installation. I tried compile postgresql from source on ubuntu, as I thought it might had been the binary installation that was not correct, but the source installation failed the same way. I have a locale for sv in /usr/share/locales. What on earth can it be that is wrong? /Ragnar ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings

If the name doesn't exactly match, postgresql will complain that it doesn't know it. Either choose a name that is in that list, or add the one you want and follow the instructions to rebuild the locale database.

I think the more portable way to discover what locale names the OS knows is locale -a ... /etc/locale.gen doesn't exist on my machines. Debian and Ubuntu stopped shipping complete locale databases a long time ago, it was way too large for a base system (50MB IIRC). So there's now a file where you list the locales you want and it creates a database with just that. FWIW, on the machines I have access to, sv_SE.iso88591 seems to be the standard spelling for this locale name; for instance on Fedora Core 5 locale... standard spelling... Heh, this is one area where standard doesn't mean very much. Have a nice day, -- Martijn van Oosterhout kleptog@svana.org http://svana.org/kleptog/ From each according to his ability.
