I signed up to do a review on $subject patch for the commitfest. In
order to do that, I want to get SELinux and contrib/sepgsql properly set
up so that I can test. I ran into a problem when trying to do:
cd contrib/sepgsql make install (succeeds) make installcheck (fails)
I get this:
============== creating database "contrib_regression" ============== ERROR: could not determine which collation
touse for string comparison HINT: Use the COLLATE clause to set the collation explicitly. command failed:
"/usr/local/pgsql-head/bin/psql"-X -c "CREATE DATABASE \"contrib_regression\" TEMPLATE=template0" "postgres" make:
***[installcheck] Error 2
So I installed sepgsql into the postgres database anyway and do this:
postgres=# SELECT sepgsql_restorecon(NULL); ERROR: could not determine which collation to use for string
comparison HINT: Use the COLLATE clause to set the collation explicitly.
Ok, so now I go look at the docs to figure out what exactly a "COLLATE
clause" is. Only searching the online docs brings up no hits on the
keyword COLLATE". Google brings me to TODO wiki page:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Todo:Collate
But that isn't much help either. Grepping the source gets hits in 9.1
and master. So I guess:
1) COLLATE clause is a new feature in 9.1?
2) The doc search feature on postgresql.org does not search the 9.1 documentation?
I looked in the 9.1 docs in SQL Commands->SELECT and could find no
reference to COLLATE. Can anyone point me to some documentation that
would explain what that error message means and how to resolve it?
Thanks,
Joe
