Usually it makes sense to always use UTF8 as your encoding... in case you will need some non-LATIN1 characters... you can check which encoding was used when creating a DB with show lc_ctype... Regards, -- Valentine P.S.: there are many posts related to that issue. You can look up a BUG mailing list for collate and encoding. -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
