Thanks. Here's my locale information:
> locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
Is this enough to run a pgsql database that is supposed to house utf-8
content? Or should I somehow make sure LC_ALL carries the value of
'en_US.UTF-8' as well? If not manually, how would I do it, and how can
I trace what other programs may be impacted. It sounds like an
impossible task given that many applications/servers run on this
machine, so I am hoping that either there is a workaround for
postgresql, or that postgresql will work with just the above
parameters as they are.
TIA!
