Thanks for the quick answer.
It seems there is something missing with my installation:
postgres=# CREATE COLLATION fr (locale='fr_FR');
ERROR: could not create locale "fr_FR": No such file or directory
I used the ZIP distribution from EnterpriseDB (not the installer) so maybe the support for collations is simply not
includedwith the "plain" binaries.
postgres=# select * from pg_collation; collname | collnamespace | collowner | collencoding | collcollate | collctype
----------+---------------+-----------+--------------+-------------+----------- default | 11 | 10 |
-1 | | C | 11 | 10 | -1 | C | C POSIX |
11| 10 | -1 | POSIX | POSIX
