So the usual expectation would be that it'd work like you want. Perhaps the Ubuntu packager set LANG=C in the postgres user's ~/.profile, or some such? Poke around a bit in the package's files, it shouldn't be too hard to find where the damage is being done. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
