The sorting rules for this locale must be the same in both platforms.
Only locale names are different. It looks like windows server does not recognize Linux locale name.

Lot of queries seems working properly.

REINDEX throws error

Database is used in recovery mode to find proper recovery point and to get data from it in this point.
Locales are actually same. In windows Postgres does not recognize Linux locale name.

Most queries seems to work.
Database should examined to get accidently deleted data from it.
Is making it read-write and index only solution or can it fixed in read-only database also, e-q forcing same local in
postgres.conf
Andrus.
