Hi!
There appears to still be locale issues on win32. I'm unfortunatly not
very well up to speed on how the locale things work, so I'm posting here
for comments.
State: pgsql-snapshot running on native win32.
Database is initialised with: initdb -D d:\pgdata --locale=eng_US
pg_controldata reports:
LC_COLLATE: English_United States.1252
LC_CTYPE: English_United States.1252
Now for the issue. When I have my "regional options" set to english (not
my normal case), I have:
template1=# select 'vy' union select 'wa' order by 1;
?column?
----------
vy
wa
(2 rows)
Then I change my regional options to Swedish (normal) and restart the
postmaster:
template1=# select 'vy' union select 'wa' order by 1;
?column?
----------
wa
vy
(2 rows)
I was under the impression that the locale set in the database would
override this? Otherwise, what's it for :-)
(The weird-sorting is because that in swedish locale, w and v are
treated as equal, and thus it ends up sorting on the second character).
This also shows up as a regression test on the "select" test, and this
is how I caught it.
