on my system /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb

initdb for debian's postgres 8.3 package is in
/usr/lib/postgresql/8.3/bin/initdb -- it's probably just not in your
nomal path.

root@Athena:~# dpkg -L postgresql-8.3 |grep -i initdb
/usr/lib/postgresql/8.3/bin/initdb

If you're using debian then check out pg_dropcluster and
pg_createcluster commands.

Have a nice day,

Iep,

So thanks to your hint I haven't done the re-encoding, I guess it's the much better. I don't like latin2 anyway, i prefer UTF8 since I thinkis more standard.

Thanks a lot.

All beings be happy,
