Hi. I am curious how/why the Pg 8.1.1 build on Solaris SunOS $hostname 5.9 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250 chose LATIN9 charset as default. Of course we can override this and might if there's a good reason move to LATIN9 as default. Afraid though of having anything go flakey when we import the original DBs with LATIN1 encoding. I saw a message already during an import to the effect of "can't do conversion"...
