I don't believe there is any fixed "default character set". Each installation will have a default locale and encoding, but these depend on the locale under which initdb was run. From the above comment I surmise that you initdb'd under some UTF8-using locale ...
Ah, great. Thank you for the clarification. I did indeed run initdb on different systems, but they were all under UTF-8, so I guess I had drawn the wrong conclusion.
Perhaps they should go on the project website somewhere?
I was thinking so as well, but I'm not sure where, or who to submit to if there is no wiki or other external editing method. Any pointers for who to contact/where to submit? Thanks, Jason ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
