Betreff: AW: BUG #16103: Initdb does not respect country for language

1. According to this page: https://www.postgresql.org/download/windows/ Windows Server 2008 R2 IS with Postgres 10 supported. I have also tried the same steps as mentioned in the original message with Windows Server 2012 R2 – same outcome

2. I’m not talking about using initdb with the default settings I’m talking about using the enterprisedb Installer which internally calls initdb with predefined „—locale“ parameters . As I have mentioned calling initdb without locale or with locale „German_Austria.1252“ does indeed work but selecting „German, Austria“ in the enterprisedb installer which then internally calls initdb.exe –locale „German,Austria“ does NOT work.

Look at the screenshots in the attachments to get a better idea about the issue.

Best Regards,
Simon

I also checked tested initdb on supported platform windows 2012 and getting the following message:

WARNUNG: Authentifizierung für lokale Verbindungen auf »trust« gesetzt
Sie können dies ändern, indem Sie pg_hba.conf bearbeiten oder beim

Erfolg. Sie können den Datenbankserver jetzt mit

pg_ctl -D ^"C^:^\master1^" -l logdatei start

starten.

It Might possible that you have not set locale properly.

Please find attached the supported platform list for v10.

Bug reference: 16103
Logged by: Simon Wimmesberger
Email address: simon(dot)wimmesberger(at)zoetis(dot)com<mailto:simon(dot)wimmesberger(at)zoetis(dot)com>
PostgreSQL version: 10.10
Operating system: Windows Server 2008 R2
Description:

When using the enterprisedb installer on Windows and I select the language
"German, Austria" it is passed to initdb with "German,Austria". When I look
at the database property of the initialized database the "collation" and
"character type" is set to "German_Germany.1252" instead of the expected
value of "German_Austria.1252". When I call initdb directly with
"German_Austria.1252" it works as expected. In our usecase we really want to
use the enterprisedb installer therefore selecting the language should work
as expected.

I have also tried to select "Englisch, Ireland" in the installer it is again
passed to initdb as "English,Ireland" but the database is then wrongly
initialized with "English_United States.1252" - so it seems like that the
installer somehow passes the Language/Country wrong the initdb executable or
initdb does not respect the country when passed in this format.
