Hi all,

What are the relationship/dependencies between encoding and locale
settings ??

thanks,

It seems that locale support come from the OS, but encodings are build into
postgresql, and locale seems only support single byte character, but
encodings
can support multibyte character like Chinese, Japanese etc.

Basically, I think they are different kind of things.
