Hello,

I read that with initdb command I can specify the server encoding,
but with my installation I don't hae initdb command.

How can I install it? Please

Thanks.

PS: I installed postgresql-8.3 debian package and it's respectives
dependencies.

initdb for debian's postgres 8.3 package is in
/usr/lib/postgresql/8.3/bin/initdb -- it's probably just not in your
nomal path.

root@Athena:~# dpkg -L postgresql-8.3 |grep -i initdb
/usr/lib/postgresql/8.3/bin/initdb

Is it possible you dont have it in your path? try <path to pgsql bin>/initdb
on my system /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb

If you're using debian then check out pg_dropcluster and
pg_createcluster commands.

Have a nice day,

Iep,

So thanks to your hint I haven't done the re-encoding, I guess it's the
much better. I don't like latin2 anyway, i prefer UTF8 since I thinkis
more standard.

Thanks a lot.

All beings be happy,
