korean encoding, sort order off anyhow

hi,
To see the query results in native language see

http://database.sarang.net/?inc=read&aid=5368&criteria=pgsql&subcrit=qna&id=&limit=20&keyword=&page=1

the simpler url is

http://database.sarang.net/?criteria=pgsql

becase there is no korean postgresql list. poster is "joesp"

basically the characters are off when sorting. As for how the koreans are doing things, that's why I'm asking them on database.sarang.net. BTW is there another location to look for help in korea, if you are aware of one I would like to know it.

I am at a crossroads why after the following the sort order is off. I think I've followed all the advice from the manual, as well.

[postgres(at)www pgsql]$ initdb --locale=ko_KR --lc-messages=C -E unicode -D `pwd`/unidata

The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locales
COLLATE: ko_KR
CTYPE: ko_KR
MESSAGES: C
MONETARY: ko_KR
NUMERIC: ko_KR
TIME: ko_KR

creating directory /bup/pgsql/unidata ... ok
creating directory /bup/pgsql/unidata/global ... ok
creating directory /bup/pgsql/unidata/pg_xlog ... ok
creating directory /bup/pgsql/unidata/pg_clog ... ok
creating directory /bup/pgsql/unidata/base ... ok
creating directory /bup/pgsql/unidata/base/1 ... ok

Success. You can now start the database server using:

/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /bup/pgsql/unidata
or
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -D /bup/pgsql/unidata -l logfile start

[postgres(at)www pgsql]$
[postgres(at)www pgsql]$ pg_ctl -D /bup/pgsql/unidata/ -o "-p5433" start
postmaster starting
