If I follow this correctly, the behavior would be that PG would not pay attention to *any* LC_xxx environment variables? Although I agree with that principle in the abstract, it bothers me that PG will be out of step with every single other locale-using program in the Unix world. We ought to think twice about whether that's really a good idea. > Note that you get the same kind of command line options as in initdb: > --lc-numeric, --locale, etc. You can also run SHOW lc_numeric to see > what's going on. Probably you thought of this already: please also support SHOW for the initdb-time variables (lc_collate, etc), so that one can find out the active locale settings without having to resort to contrib/pg_controldata. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
