hi, To see the query results in native language see http://database.sarang.net/?inc=read&aid=5368&criteria=pgsql&subcrit=qna&id=&limit=20&keyword=&page=1
the simpler url is http://database.sarang.net/?criteria=pgsql becase there is no korean postgresql list. poster is "joesp" basically the characters are off when sorting. As for how the koreans are doing things, that's why I'm asking them on database.sarang.net. BTW is there another location to look for help in korea, if you are aware of one I would like to know it. I am at a crossroads why after the following the sort order is off. I think I've followed all the advice from the manual, as well.
