Hi,

Some of postgresql's string functions behave differently depending on the locale the cluster was created with. With the locales 'C' or 'en_US.utf8', lower() does not lowercase non-ascii characters such as Ü (umlaut-u).

If we have users from all over the world storing data in our database with all sorts of languages, which locale should we use to ensure these string functions behave as they expect?

Thanks,
