There also needs to be an if test for the case that encoding is the
empty string -- either that or track down how the locale gets clobbered
on a Mac system. By the time this code executes on my mac, locale has
been set to "C/En_US/C/C/C".

Subject: Patch suggestion for gnucash 1.8.8 (ports/finance/gnucash)
postgres backend.

I have created a patch that you can put into the "files" subdirectory
of
the gnucash port. It's attached.
Gnucash, when creating a database for the Postgres backend uses the
value returned from nl_langinfo(CODESET) to build up SQL queries. In
particular the value returned from nl_langinfo(CODESET) is used to set
the encoding in the Postgres database in the following SQL command:
CREATE DATABASE gnucash_database_name WITH ENCODING 'US-ASCII';
nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns the string "US-ASCII" on my BSD system.
When US-ASCII is used to build up SQL queries for the Postgres backend,
Postgres generates an error because "US-ASCII" is not allowed to be
used
as an option in Postgres SQL.
Would you be willing to Patch the gnucash code to substitute US-ASCII
with SQL_ASCII as it is used? The effected file is:
work/gnucash-1.8.8/src/backend/postgres/PostgresBackend.c, line 2100.
Thanks.
