john velandia: PostgreSQL Upgrade to 8.3 on Debian Encoding Issues

javv80854@yahoo.es (john velandia) — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 21:02:58 -0500

Para Ubuntu:

La solución es cambiar la variable LANG, la cuál es leída por el postgres. Esta se cambia en vi /etc/default/locale, debe quedar la siguiente línea en la vairible que se encuentra en el archivo LANG="es_CO"

Para Fedora

vi /etc/sysconfig/i18n

Nota: En caso de que ya se encuentre instalado el POstgres se debe borrar el Cluster, con el siguiente comando

Service postgresql stop o etc/init.d/postgresql stop

rm -rf /var/lib/pgsql/data. Esto es para que permita crear la base de datos Latin1.

Luego inicia el servidor

Service postgres start(sale error para que inicie el cluster) creo q se debe dar service postgres inidb para que cree de nuevo el cluster

I purchased 2 x1300's a year ago. I have not measured their accuracy, but one LCD has almost completely gone dark (it is still barely visible from one angle only).

Next time I'll buy a true sinewave UPS from another manufacturer.

I went to a Mexican restaurant last night near me and I noticed this on the menu. I got the bottle and thought it might be something you'd like. Comes in a variety of flavors, and you should be able to find a grocer downtown that carries the brand.

I too used to keep /usr separate from / on Solaris until recently. I discovered if you transfer a Solaris boot disk from one machine to another and the hardware does not match precisely, you can end up in a situation where you can boot and access the root partition, but /usr is unavailable because the symlinks have not been created in /dev It then becomes impossible to do a reconfigure boot, and you have to devise clever ways to repopulate your /dev directory to get your system booted. It's not impossible, but it creates work where it's not necessary.

If you're doing a new install of Solaris you better use ZFS raid or mirror. Solaris can now boot from a ZFS disk.

Great article.
Solaris is still a strange world to me, and i am learning more and more. This bit was great to set up raid on my sunfire V480 .. although i wish i would have read the comments about more than 2 metadbs so i can still function with one disk (the 480 on has room for 2 internal)

also, if someone could clarify, what does all the d#'s do? d11, d20 d20, etc ...

I just bought out of the box an xs 1500. I plugged in the red cable to the battery, the negative was already hooked up and so was the jumper. I have no LCD display after plugging in a hardwire connection and the power button stays lit and so does the display/mute button. I can't get an lcd display and I can't seem to shut power button off....any help would be awesome and appreciated
