The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 2024
Logged by: Nikolaos Papageorgiou
Email address: nikchem@tellas.gr
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.0.1
Operating system: Windows 2000 Professional & XP Pro
Description: Wrong Greek ISO-encoding assignment
Details:
Dear Sirs,
I have been using your marvellous product for sometime now and I have come
across a rather unusual bug.
It is supposed that Greek ISO-encoding is ISO-8859-7.
For some unknown reason from version 8.1 it is encoded as ISO-8859-6 which
is normally used by Arabic language and ISO-8859-7 produces Hebrew. It is
probably a one codepage shift left.
Please correct it or let me know what is really happening
Sincerely yours,
Nikolaos A. Papageorgiou

I think it gets the encoding from the XP system settings.
