Hey guys,

 

In PG 8.x, when I did an initdb with --lc-collate=c it was always effective in setting it server wide so it would apply to all databases.  However, in 9.1.2, when I run initdb like so:  /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.1 initdb --lc-collate=C, it doesn't seem to have any effect. 

 

[root@dvrv5030 9.1]# psql -U postgres -Aqtc "select setting from pg_settings where name='lc_collate'"

en_US.UTF-8

 

Not sure why the difference in behavior.  Our application depends on collation being set to C.  I can create the individual database with that option, but why won't it stick setting it server-wide with initdb?

 

Thanks!
