Hi, i think this explains, what you ment: http://www.linuxshare.ru/postgresql/manual/creating-cluster.html http://www.linuxshare.ru/postgresql/manual/charset.html#LOCALE So you don't need to set the Locale-Settings on compile-time, but on initdb-time. Also check if this applies to your kinds of query, because with a non-C Locale you need to define the indices with a different operator- class to use the indices with like-comparisons. See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/indexes-opclass.html for more details.
