Hey, i searched the documentation and on the net but what i couldn't find a documentation how to install PostgreSQL 8.0.3 on SUSE Linux Enterprice Server 9.2 properly. Could someone tell me where to find it? What i did until now: The Administrator of the box did donwload a version from : http://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/postgresql/postgresql-8.0.3/ I did initdb with locate='C' and encoding='Latin1'. Unfortunatly Pg toold that 'ä'='ü' which is wrong. But for strange reasons, postgres does the right thing by doing a group by. sample: create table t1 (id serial, key1 text, key2 text); create table t2 as select key1, count(*) as cnt from t1 group by key1; alter table t2 add primary key (key1); create table t3 as select * from t1 join t2 using (key1) where t2.cnt>1; alter table t2 add primary key (id); -- the last statement fails I created another one with initdb -D latin1_de_DE --locale=de_DE -E=latin1 -A trust -U postgres -d and started this instance on port 5431 (shouldn't matter) How ever, with this instance some problems occur: - the client_encoding is very important and must be set to latin1 otherwise a join between 2 table goes wrong since postgres still assumes 'ö' and 'ü' as equal and the sample given above could still fail at the last statement. - some insert-statements never finish (ok there is a timelimit configured which terminates them) Thx in advance and sorry for my poor english.
