Hello All,
I am a Database administrator and we are using PostgreSQL-9.6.1 version in RHEL-7 linux machine. Current server Encoding setup is UTF8 and LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE is en_US.UTF-8.
Lets say table person has field name with values likes
name
------
Abc
abc
.dcb
Dcb
$sdf
EDF
en_US.UTF-8 collate sorting this field as:
name
------
abc
Abc
.dcb
Dcb
EDF
$sdf
It ignore's Special characters.
"C" collate sorting this field as:
name
------
$sdf
.dcb
Abc
Dcb
EDF
abc
It does case sensitive sort.
My expected sorting should be: (Case insensitive and special character)
name
------
$sdf
.dcb
Abc
abc
Dcb
EDF
I can use lower() and collate 'C' to get this result. But I need a default collate to support this.
Is there any collation that support both (Case insensitive and special character) sorting in utf8?
your help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Hari
