Thread: Will PostgreSQL 8.4 allow having different encoding databases on a same PostgreSQL server ?
Will PostgreSQL 8.4 allow having different encoding databases on a same PostgreSQL server ?

Hello ! Currently, I have several PostgreSQL databases, some of them are using LATIN1 encoding, some of them are using UTF-8 encoding. In order to have theses two encoding, we had to install two PostgreSQL server on two different ports. One is for LATIN1 databases and one is for UTF-8 databases. (I known there is a workaround which allows to mix several databases encoding them on a same PostgreSQL server, by specifying "C" locale to initdb). I've heard some rumors on freenode stating that PostgreSQL 8.4. will allow to have several databases encoding. Did I understand right ? Thanks in advance for any informations about that feature !

You create all your databases with UTF-8 and add client_encoding with LATIN1 for the ones that need this. A simple: ALTER DATABASE dbX SET client_encoding TO latin1; should work. > I've heard some rumors on freenode stating that PostgreSQL 8.4. will > allow to have several databases encoding.

I think you are misinformed. With pgsql 8.3:
smarlowe=# show lc_collate ;
lc_collate
-------------
en_US.UTF-8
\l
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding
-----------+----------+----------
postgres | postgres | UTF8
smarlowe | smarlowe | UTF8
create database test with encoding 'SQL_ASCII';
\l
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding
-----------+----------+-----------
postgres | postgres | UTF8
smarlowe | smarlowe | UTF8
test | smarlowe | SQL_ASCII

Nevermind, I'm an idiot. yeah, for latin1 you'd need locale=C On Thu, Apr 9, 2009 at 6:24 AM, Scott Marlowe <scott.marlowe@gmail.com> wrote: > On Thu, Apr 9, 2009 at 6:03 AM, Bruno Baguette <bruno.baguette@gmail.com> wrote: >> Hello ! >> >> Currently, I have several PostgreSQL databases, some of them are using >> LATIN1 encoding, some of them are using UTF-8 encoding. >> >> In order to have theses two encoding, we had to install two PostgreSQL >> server on two different ports.

Did I understand right ? You can already do that, just use CREATE DATABASE dbname ENCODING=anyencoding Yours, Laurenz Albe
