PostgreSQL数据库支持多种字符集，在配置字符集时要分清楚服务器与客户端的字符集，字符集不一致尽管有时能够发生转换，但带来的问题也很头疼。语言环境的配置也很重要。

以下针对客户端与服务器字符集配置问题作几个小测试。
测试一：服务器、客户端、语言环境一致的情况
- [postgre@iss3984 ~]$ echo $LANG
- en_US.UTF-8
- [postgre@iss3984 ~]$ psql daduxiong
- Welcome to psql 8.3.11 (server 8.3.10), the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
- Type:
- \copyright for distribution terms
- \h for help with SQL commands
- \? for help with psql commands
- \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
- \q to quitdaduxiong=# \l
- List of databases
- Name | Owner | Encoding
- -----------+---------+----------
- daduxiong | postgre | UTF8
- postgres | postgre | UTF8
- template0 | postgre | UTF8
- template1 | postgre | UTF8(4 rows)
- daduxiong=# show client_encoding;
- client_encoding-----------------
- UTF8(1 row)daduxiong=# insert into t1 values (1,'中国');
- INSERT 0 1
- daduxiong=# select * from t1; id |
- name
- ----+------------------------
- 1 | 中国 (1 row)
服务器与客户端字符集相同，在数据录入时不发生字符集转换；因语言环境也相同所以展现不会出现乱码。
测试二：客户端与服务器、语言环境不一致的情况
- daduxiong=# \encoding
- GBKdaduxiong=# show
- client_encoding;
- client_encoding-----------------
- GBK(1 row)
- daduxiong=# insert into t1 values (2,'日本');
- INSERT 0 1daduxiong=# select * from t1;
- id | name
- ----+-------------------------
- 1 | �й�
- 2 | 日本 (2 rows)
客户端与服务器的字符集不一致，在数据录入时将发生字符集转换；当前展现的第二条记录非乱码形式是因为客户端字符集为GBK，在UTF8下同样出现乱码，在使用时需要语言环境进行配置。
测试三：服务器与客户端、语言环境不一致的情况
- daduxiong=# \q
- [postgre@iss3984 ~]$ LANG=GBK export LANG
- [postgre@iss3984 ~]$ echo $LANG
- GBK
- [postgre@iss3984 ~]$ psql daduxiong
- Welcome to psql 8.3.11 (server 8.3.10), the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
- Type:
- \copyright for distribution terms
- \h for help with SQL commands
- \? for help with psql commands
- \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
- \q to quitdaduxiong=# show client_encoding;
- client_encoding
- -----------------
- UTF8
- (1 row)
- daduxiong=# \encoding GBK
- daduxiong=# select * from t1;
- id | name
- ----+-------------------------
- 1 | �й�
- 2 | 日本
- (2 rows)
- daduxiong=# insert into t1 values (3,'美国');
- INSERT 0 1daduxiong=# select * from t1;
- id | name
- ----+-------------------------
- 1 | �й�
- 2 | 日本
- 3 | 美国
- (3 rows)daduxiong=# \q
客户端、语言环境均配置为GBK字符集，在当前环境下展现的为非乱码形式，数据录入时将发生字符集转换。
测试四：服务器与客户端、语言环境恢复一致的情况
- [postgre@iss3984 ~]$ LANG=en_US.UTF8 export LANG
- [postgre@iss3984 ~]$ psql daduxiong
- Welcome to psql 8.3.11 (server 8.3.10), the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
- Type: \copyright for distribution terms
- \h for help with SQL commands
- \? for help with psql commands
- \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
- \q to quitdaduxiong=# show client_encoding; client_encoding
- -----------------
- UTF8(1 row)
- daduxiong=# select * from t1;
- id | name
- ----+-------------------------
- 1 | 中国
- 2 | 鏃ユ湰
- 3 | 缇庡浗
- (3 rows)daduxiong=#
通过恢复原始的PostgreSQL字符集状态,所有环境均为UTF8字符集，此时发现经过字符集转换后的内容为乱码。
