Thread: BSD initdb without ICU support and switch later
Hello,
the ICU patch isn’t ready for PostgreSQL on FreeBSD.
Is there any risk (more than 0) in executing the initdb without ICU
support and recompiling PostgreSQL later when the ICU patch is ready? I
mean any risk without making a dump and import before the switch.
If this is okay for sure, what should I do later when the ICU is
available? Do I have to reindex everything with the ICU patched database?
Thank you.

Teodor has made a patch for ICU and PostgreSQL 9.5.

I think, yes.
Thank you.

Hi there. Just wondering if anyone has got ICU support/patch applied to 9.5 yet. We are holding on 9.4 for now but want to get onto 9.5 asap but can't due to the ICU limitation. Any help appreciated.
