From: "Greg Stark" <st...@mit.edu>
Wait, why does the ctype of the database affect the ctype of the
messages? Shouldn't these be two separate things? One describes the
character set being used to store data in the database and the other
the character set the log file and clients are in.
At session start, PostgreSQL sets the ctype of the database to be the
process's LC_CTYPE locale category in src/backend/utils/init/postinit.c:
ctype = NameStr(dbform->datctype);
...
if (pg_perm_setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ctype) == NULL)
The LC_CTYPE locale category determines the character encoding for messages
obtained by gettext(). This is gettext()'s specification.
