Hello,
I am currently trying to evaluate upgrading to Postgresql 8.3, but having problems even getting the complete database up and running because I can't get PostGIS installed with the database properly. So, first I'm running in a Windows environment and apparently there were some changes made in 8.3 that force the encoding for the database to match the locale of the windows setting. That means that I have to set the encoding for the database to WIN1252 instead of UTF8. This causes the PostGIS installer to die when it tries to create the template because it tries to create it with UTF8 encoding and postgres won't allow that. I then thought to try and manually do the install, and so copied the dll from the lib in my 8.1 directory to the 8.3 directory, dumped the template from 8.1, created the template database in 8.3 with the right encoding and tried a restore. The functions that referenced the dll came back with an error : incompatible library (location of the file): missing magic block. Thanks for any help, Ann
