Actually, it works only for finite values of "work". You can break it
by cloning the "default" entry:
regression=# create collation foo from "default";
WARNING: could not determine encoding for locale "": codeset is "ANSI_X3.4-1968"
WARNING: could not determine encoding for locale "": codeset is "ANSI_X3.4-1968"
CREATE COLLATION
regression=# select * from pg_collation where collname = 'foo';collname | collnamespace | collowner | collprovider |
collencoding| collcollate | collctype | collversion
----------+---------------+-----------+--------------+--------------+-------------+-----------+-------------foo |
2200 | 10 | d | 0 | | |
(1 row)
regression=# select * from text_tbl order by f1 collate foo;
server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or
whileprocessing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.
The crash is from a SIGSEGV that I didn't bother to identify the
exact location of. (Note: this is in a non-ICU-enabled build,
prevailing locale "C".)
It wouldn't be unreasonable to disallow cloning "default",
perhaps, but I'd be inclined to want to plug the crash
problem more directly than that.
