Thread: launguage...

hello.
i`m wondering how to set up an launguage for a certain database or how to
set  up a general launguage for the postgres?
the problem is that slovenia (as most other contries) has some special
charaters and i would like to sort the data containig this chars..
therefore i need the launguage setings.

The postmaster.init file (in /etc/postgresql/ ) have a string
LANG=<your_language>, you have to write your locale there.
In order to use national characters, you have to compile postgres with
multibyte support and then use 'set client_encoding to ' statement in
applications.

ok.... but
if i want to use Norway language for one database and slovenian for other
and English again for the other one this isn`t posible to set ?
I`m looking for that kind of sulution.
