According to the postgresql.conf of the *working* database the locales are: lc_messages = 'C' lc_monetary = 'C' lc_numeric = 'C' lc_time = 'C' According to the other obe: lc_messages = 'en_US' lc_monetary = 'en_US' lc_numeric = 'en_US' lc_time = 'en_US' Could this be the difference? Is there any documentation available somewhere, on how these locale settings work and interact (in combination with the server and/or client platform???), besides the explanation in the PostgreSQL manual (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/charset.html#LOCALE) (which is to terse for me to understand)?
