+ To create a database <literal>music</> with a different locale:
+<programlisting>
+CREATE DATABASE music
+ LC_COLLATE 'sv_SE.utf8' LC_CTYPE 'sv_SE.utf8'
+ TEMPLATE template0;
+</programlisting>
+ In this example, the <literal>TEMPLATE template0</> clause is required if
+ the specified locale is different from the one in <literal>template1</>.
+ (If it is not, then specifying the locale explicitly is redundant.)

+ To create a database <literal>music2</> with a different locale and a
+ different character set encoding:
<programlisting>
-CREATE DATABASE music ENCODING 'LATIN1' TEMPLATE template0;
+CREATE DATABASE music2
+ LC_COLLATE 'sv_SE.iso885915' LC_CTYPE 'sv_SE.iso885915'
+ ENCODING LATIN9
+ TEMPLATE template0;
</programlisting>
+ The specified locale and encoding settings must match, or an error will be
+ reported.
+ </para>
- In this example, the <literal>TEMPLATE template0</> clause would only
- be required if <literal>template1</>'s encoding is not ISO-8859-1.
- Note that changing encoding might require selecting new
- <literal>LC_COLLATE</> and <literal>LC_CTYPE</> settings as well.
