server , client encoding issue

["surabhi.ahuja" <surabhi.ahuja@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 

 hi all

 

i am facing a problem and here it is:

 

i install the following (postgres) rpms as root

postgresql-libs-8.0.0-1PGDG.i686.rpm

postgresql-8.0.0-1PGDG.i686.rpm

and

postgresql-server-8.0.0-1PGDG.i686.rpm

 

now i try to create a database

 

/usr/bin/createdb temp

 

when i connect to it

it shows: server_encoding : LATIN9

and client_encoding: LATIN9

 

from where did it get these values

i want them to be UNICODE.

 

please help

( i know there is a workaround to this problem - 

/usr/bin/createdb -E UNICODE temp )

 

but this is happening at a particular machine . On other machines it is UNICODE.

 

thanks

regards

surabhi
