Hello,
 
I have a question to the usage of locale.
 
In the PostgreSQL 8.0.3 Documentation is written:
"The drawback of using locales other than C or POSIX in PostgreSQL is its performance impact. It slows character handling and prevents ordinary indexes from being used by LIKE. For this reason use locales only if you actually need them. "
 
Is there a general perfomance deficit, when using locales or only when using LIKE?
 
Regards
Michaela
