Hi,
I am currently working with a PostgreSQL database created with *WIN1252
*encoding because the data will be in Spanish language. So, both
*Collation* and *Character type* are set to *Spanish_Mexico.1252*
After reading a bit more about encoding, it seems to me that I can use
*UTF8* encoding so characters for all languages are available and keep
*Collation* and *Character type* as *Spanish_Mexico.1252*. I guess that
using *UTF8* as the encoding method will keep databases more general. I
think that using *WIN1252* for encoding is restrictive.
Does it make sense?
Yes:

"On Windows, however, UTF-8 encoding can be used with any locale."
