The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 6288 Logged by: Maksym Boguk Email address: maxim.bo...@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 9.1 Operating system: Linux Ubuntu Description: Is ALTER ROLE set client_encoding broken in 9.1? Details:
I found common way deal with legacy applications encoding issues through ALTER ROLE ... set client_encoding '...'; Doesn't work at 9.1 database: test: postgres@db13:/home/mboguk$ psql psql (9.1.1) Type "help" for help. postgres=# CREATE DATABASE test WITH TEMPLATE = template0 ENCODING='KOI8R' LC_COLLATE = 'ru_RU.KOI8-R' LC_CTYPE = 'ru_RU.KOI8-R'; CREATE DATABASE postgres=# create role test with login; CREATE ROLE postgres=# alter role test set client_encoding to 'KOI8R'; ALTER ROLE postgres=# \q postgres@db13:/home/mboguk$ psql -U test psql (9.1.1) Type "help" for help. test=> show client_encoding ; client_encoding ----------------- UTF8 (1 row) The same way work without any issues with 8.3 and 8.4. PS: it's possible i'm missing something obvious. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
