I want to create a new postgresql database cluster with UTF-8 locale and default (template) encoding. While initdb, run by rc.d/postgresql, inherits the locale from the environment, rc.d/functions overrides the locale to C as specified by DAEMON_LOCALE So I am thinking, is there any reason why not to run all daemons as UTF-8? I remember in the mailing list some devs preferred to run with the C locale. Why? Alternatively I could run initdb myself.. I am also wondering if starting a cluster with a different encoding than that of the environment (UTF-8 in a C environment) will cause problems thanks,
