Subject: [HACKERS] Locale and multibyte support in 7.1

Hi!

I download, configure and install postgresql-7.1beta1 _exactly_ the
same way as my previous version - 7.0.2:

./configure --enable-multibyte=KOI8 --enable-locale
gmake
gmake install

initdb

You need to do

initb -E KOI8

and setup environment properly
Let me know if you still have a problem

Regards,
Oleg

But it seems to me locale support gone out. In particulary

select upper('О©╫О©╫О©╫О©╫О©╫О©╫О©╫ О©╫О©╫О©╫О©╫О©╫ - Russian text');

(first two words are russian in lowercase in KOI8 encoding) don't give
uppercase russian text - russian letters don't change. But when I do
the _same_ steps with 7.0.2 - all is OK. May anyone help me? I work
under FreeBSD 4.0.
