Thread: multibyte question

lately i download postgresql 8.0.2 (window version)
from postgresql mirror website site. and i read the
document, saying that postgresql support multibyte
encoding
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/multibyte.html).
but during installation, i can't find the item in the
drop-down list, which indicates to the encoding  -
euc_tw, for instance. should i change to other
version? or what should i do in order to create db to
get encoding supported other than ascii? i apprecaite
any suggestion, sincerely.

I don't recall what the encoding options are using the installer, but
you can create a database at any time with any of the supported
encodings. See the ENCODING option with CREATE DATABASE:
