About limitation of using postgresql in china

Dear postgresql member

 

I will use postgresql in china for a project.

But I’m not sure Whether there are some limitations when using  postgresql in china(limitation for China only).

For example，license limitation in china or other limitation when used.


Can you tell me the postgresql limitations when used for china only.

 

Look forward to your Email.

Thank you very much.

 

Best Regards

There are no such restrictions so far as the Postgres project is concerned.
What the Chinese government might think about it, I don't know.

Hi,

postgresql license: https://www.postgresql.org/about/licence/

technical limitation: So far I tested
string chinese text to date example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67597719/how-to-convert-02-3%E6%9C%88-21-to-date-21-03-02-000000-psql
date to chinese text: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-formatting.html
order by chinese pinyin and stroke is both ok.

Obviously there are some trigger cases, you probably need to take care of, like is  壹(U+58F9) the same as  一(U+4E00)?
Also, there is simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese issues.

I didn't test it, but I guess it would take more effort if you name your SQL identifiers in Chinese.
