I got a complain from a user.
If current locale is SJIS, psql does not set client encoding to SJIS.
# localedef -f SHIFT_JIS -i ja_JP /usr/lib/locale/ja_JP.SJIS
$ export LANG=ja_JP.SJIS
$ psql
\encoding
SQL_ASCII <-- This should be SJIS
This is because the encoding map (encoding_match_list) in chklocale.c
is lacking the definition for SHIFT_JIS. Included is a proposed
patch. If there's no objection, I will commit it.
Best regards,
