Thanks for the pointer. "*american_usa*" works however it sets the
LC_COLLATE to 'English_United States.1252' which is basically "ANSI Latin
1" and is not utf8. The third parameter as the link says is codeset -
"language_territory.codeset".

Here is the list of all codesets
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd317756%28VS.85%29.aspx but still
no success.

One of the link says codepage 65001 and utf-8 is same -

.

Am not able to find windows codeset equivalent of utf-8 and set it as
LC_COLLATE while creating database.

Has anyone set the LC_COLLATE as utf-8 on windows?
