I had similar issues with the Greek ISO locale/encoding and the UTF one.
If i had known earlier i would have implemented UTF since day one.
UTF-8 support is pretty mature, so i dont see any reason for people to
hold back to ISO encodings (in year 2011!)

The locale for your whole cluster is defined in postgresql.conf.
(and i believe the value is inherited by the ENV variables at initdb time)
Now each database has its *own* encoding.
psql -l
lists who has what.
