Hello In the past (a few years ago) i was always compiling Postgresql from source. I remember that during the first initdb i was passing a -E parameter to control the cluster's default encoding, which used to influence search results and so on. Now, i need to use Postgresql again, on Debian machines. I thought that perhaps i can use standard Debian packages for installing Postgresql, however i fail to understand some things: a) Is it still essential to pass the -E proper parameter at the stage of 'initdb' in order to support various encodings fully? b) If so, how does one pass this parameter when installing from a standard *.deb package (or *.rpm, for that matter)? c) If so (in reference to question (a)), is there any tutorial around for installing Postgresql on Debian, that includes instructions for the -E parameter? d) Is there anything else that i should be aware of, relating to proper character-set support in recent versions of Postgresql?
