Re: case insensitive regex clause with some latin1 characters - Mailing list pgsql-sql

My environment setup as:
 show lc_ctype;  lc_ctype
------------- fr_CA.UTF-8
(1 row)


fis=> SELECT 'Ä' ~* 'ä'; ?column?
---------- f
(1 row)


fis=> SELECT 'Ä' ilike 'ä'; ?column?
---------- f
(1 row)


I got the same result: false
