You're going to miss the "name" columns, ie. every string index in pg_catalog. Also, there are shared tables which all used in every DB. You need to log into every DB in the cluster (don't forget template[01] and reindex everything. So, REINDEX DATABASE; seems to be a safer bet. In general this doesn't actually work since changing the locale may make two strings equal that wern't before, thus possibly breaking a unique index, but it may be possible. I'd suggest single user mode at least, and make backups! Have a nice day, -- Martijn van Oosterhout <kleptog@svana.org> http://svana.org/kleptog/ > From each according to his ability.
