Hi.

I�am having problems using the UPPER function.

See the example:

UPPER('jo�o') = JO�O

I thinks this occurs because an accented character
(�). How can I fix this?

Thanks,
JP

Hi.

Try with setting LC_ALL variable for pgsql user to your locale and
re-`initdb`. I'm using sl_SI.ISO8859-2 for Slovenian language and it works
fine. If you can't find suitable locale you can create or modify one (man
`mklocale`).

btw: Don't forget to `pg_dump` before `initdb` :)

Best Regards,
D.

try an "initdb" with the right locale setting ("export LC_ALL=es"
on a bash or whatever Your specific locale is).

Hi.

I set LC_ALL to pt_BR and re- initdb to recreate de
database. But the sql statement select upper('jo�o')
still returns JO�O.
Is there any other step to make this work?

Thanks,
JP
