I still haven't got rid of the problem with ISO 8859-2 charset and Postgres. While I may use the database with correct Polish locale (by using only --enable-locale) it is still impossible (in 7.1) to use unicode encoding with Polish chars. I have tried every possible combination of compile/init parameters and it doesn't work either - there are problems with upper/lower functions. and collation order. Any else suggestions? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
