Well, the chklocale code is designed around the assumption that there *is* only one encoding for which a locale setting will work, with C/POSIX being a special case. I think we are talking a bit at cross-purposes here, because the Windows equivalent to this notion seems to be "English_United Kingdom.1252" whereas you seem to be defining locale as just "English_United Kingdom". Does it not work the way you want if you make the installer pass locale strings of the first form to initdb? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
