That might be a Chinese locale problem. Try re-initdb with --no-locale option to disable the locale support. Unfortunately there's no way to build PostgreSQL 7.3 or later without locale support except specify the option at initdb time. -- Tatsuo Ishii ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
