Thread: Sorting Sequence
We are seeing some different sorting sequences (when using BETWEEN) amoung our various operating systems. My guess is that some paramater controls this, but I have yet to find where this is located. We are using 7.3.4 on Solaris servers, and 7.3.4 and 7.4 on Red Hat Linux.

We are looking at enabling LOCALE, on 7.3.4 and 7.4.3 Postgres installations, yet LOCALE is not listed under the options to enable. Anyone know?

I should have looked further. I see LOCALE is always enabled. From the postgresql change history. The --enable-locale compile option was removed and locale support is now permanently turned on. In fact, it looks like it cannot be turned off. For 7.3.4 onwards.

Naomi, try on the psql show all; this will print the runtime parameters. lc_* are the ones you are looking for, I guess. ie, set a new value. set lc_time='en_GB'; Best wishes, Guido > We are looking at enabling LOCALE, on 7.3.4 and 7.4.3 Postgres > installations, yet LOCALE is not listed under the options to enable. > Anyone know? > > > Naomi Walker wrote: > > >We are seeing some different sorting sequences (when using BETWEEN) > >amoung our various operating systems.
