Hello all My goal is to install and run Postgresql 9 under FreeBSD and Windows with selected database cluster encoding / collation / locale to be UTF-8. Unfortunately, it has been a while since i last compiled and installed Postgresql on Linux machines. I remember that selecting the proper locale and encoding for the database cluster was a matter to be decided at built time. Is it still so for version 9? If yes, how does one go about installing the FreeBSD port, while actually choosing the locale and encoding for the cluster? Also, how does one do it under Windows? (i assume that there must be modern ways to do it, because back then i had to install Cygwin and take it from there, without really having the ability to select UTF-8, since it was not an option). Thank you in advance for any replies. I could not locate such information within the FreeBSD community, let alone the Windows community.
