Hi folks,
Bit of a situation here:
I have my own local and remote systems (7.3.3 says pg_config.h) initdb-ed with
-E LATIN1
#/usr/local/pgsql/bin/createdb test
gives
bash-2.05a$ psql -l
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding
-------------------------+----------+----------
test | postgres | LATIN1
...
template0 | postgres | LATIN1
template1 | postgres | LATIN1
#/usr/local/pgsql/bin/createdb test -E SQL_ASCII
gives
bash-2.05a$ psql -l
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding
-------------------------+----------+----------
test | postgres | SQL_ASCII
...
template0 | postgres | LATIN1
template1 | postgres | LATIN1
This is ok, I suppose.
On another remote machine, the system is also 7.3.3, I see:
sh-2.05a$ psql -l
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding
------------------+----------+-----------
trouble | postgres | SQL_ASCII
ok1 | postgres | LATIN1
ok2 | postgres | LATIN1
ok3 | postgres | LATIN1
...
template0 | postgres | SQL_ASCII
template1 | postgres | SQL_ASCII
When I pg_dump -c trouble > trouble_dump, take the file down and
cat trouble_dump | psql trouble it shows as LATIN1 in the local listing. Then
I dump it again locally, upload and cat, it shows as SQL_ASCII.
Not sure if someone has re-inited the troublesome system at some point,
because it used to be ok. Can I see when and how somewhere ? The templates 0
and 1 are causing this ? I tried also dropping the db then create it with -E
LATIN1, but after cat from dump it still shows as SQL_ASCII.
Is there any other way to fix this than (upgrade and) re-init the whole system
?
Any advice is welcome. Thank you very muchos.
BR,
Aarni
