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
