Reading thru one of the postgres mailing lists regarding which
character encoding to use for a database, someone chimed in and
claimed this:
Umm, you should choose an encoding supported by your platform and the
locales you use. For example, UTF-8 is a bad choice on *BSD because
there is no collation support for UTF-8 on those platforms. On
Linux/Glibc UTF-8 is well supported but you need to make sure the
locale you initdb with is a UTF-8 locale. By and large postgres
correctly autodetects the encoding from the locale.
Is this an accurate claim for FreeBSD? I need to have a UTF-8
encoded database in an upcoming project, and performance is always a
concern.
Thanks.
