Hi, I'm new to PostgreSQL. I just download the source and want to begin compiling it. However I am not sure what options to give ./configure. All of the data for the database will be in Japanese or ASCII.
I want to configure the data so that it can store japanese without mangling and can also sort, and execute LIKE on japanese data properly. Which options should I enable? Here are some questions I have: --enable-locale I am confused as to wether I need --enable-locale or not. And if I do need it my I don't want ./configure to use my environment vars to figure which locale to use since the machine (Linux) is setup for english (C) and not japanese. --enable-multibyte=EUC-JP Why is this necessary? What is the difference between this and --enable-locale, or between ./initdb -E EUC_JP ./initdb -E EUC_JP Is this necessary if I use --enable-multibyte=EUC_JP In short do I need all three of these settings or just one or two? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
