Re: Overriding local encoding defaults

I have a similar problem. When I try to put up a cluster with encoding
set to CP1250 I get an info that this is not a proper server encoding
type. The initdb and pg_createcluster force me to use utf8 with pl_PL
locale. Is there a way to override this as I know that CP1250 is
supported by PG. The system is Ubuntu 10.04.
