This looks like what you are looking for. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/app-initdb.html The character set encoding can be set separately for a database when it is created. initdb determines the encoding for the template1 database, which will serve as the default for all other databases. To alter the default encoding use the --encoding option. More details can be found in Section 21.2.
Thanks, I saw all that, what I was trying to figure out is where in the environment does initdb determine what to set the encoding to when it's not specified.
I ran into a problem with the wrong encoding on our database and I want to figure out if it's because the environment is different on this box, or if it was caused by the upgrade from 7.4 to 8.3
