Re: good use of locale-settings (lang=, lc_...=)

hello mike,

thank you for your link (sometimes it can be very useful to have a look into the docs... :-) ).

one special question: if i initialized my db with "C" and then use the "lang=de" - does this influence my db (sorting...) or is still "C" the value that counts for my data?

greetings
hans

hello,

i installed postgresql and finally got it to run. now i installed 
another (windows-)program and i came again to this very important 
question: how to properly use/set the locale-variables?

my newly installed program needs the (windows-)system-variable "lang" to 
be set to "de" (for me, so that i can read the menu-entries in my language).

i installed postgresql with the locale-setting "C".

now: will i run into troubles with my new-setted (and needed) "lang=de" var?

p.s.: is there a good summary for secure and long-term functioning 
locale-settings?
