and he is PERFECTLY right. Getting the locale wrong while doing intidb can really screw up ones day.

But: because of initdb being at the very beginning, it is a really tough decision based on not a lot of information. I know, same problem appears in "bigger" databases too.

On the same time my impression is that since PostgreSQL is totally easy to install on win32 (ok, still need to understand what are user rights, and have ntfs), lots of "first timers" are upgrading from My to Postgre.

What can we do to make their first steps with "encodings" and "locale" easier?
