Hi, I'm having trouble sorting my data.
I'm using PostgresQL 7.2 compiled with:
--enable-multibyte=LATIN1 --enable-locale
I've also created a test db, with one table:
CREATE DATABASE "testdb" WITH ENCODING = 'LATIN1';
And
CREATE TABLE "sorttest" (
"id" int8 NOT NULL,
"data" varchar(100),
CONSTRAINT "sorttest_pkey" PRIMARY KEY ("id")
) WITH OIDS;
Then I've inserted some test values which seem to be sorted wrongfully
when I issue an
select * from sorttest order by data
This is the output I get:
aa
a�
a�
�a
�a
ab
�b
�b
a�
ba
b�
b�
bb
b�
za
z�
I want it sorted in abcd..z���
What am I missing here? Any Ideas?
Regards,
Niclas Gustafsson

As of PostgreSQL 7.2+, --enable--recode provides:
- Unicode <-> Latin1/Latin15 recoding,
- Unicode <-> SJIS (=Japanese Multibyte),
- and much more...
Client and server encodings can be set separately. Examples:
- CREATE DABASE foo WITH ENCODING 'Unicode';
- SET CLIENT_ENCODING = 'Latin9' (=ISO-8859-15) = Latin1 + euro symbol.
In pgAdmin2, we plan to take advantage of these new features to :
- change client encoding on the fly,
- display multi-byte text.
