Hi there,
Recently I stumbled over a very strange problem: I had two very similar
setups (RHL9 with latest updates, pgsql-7.3.2, parameters in "show all"
the same, databases with encoding=UNICODE, loaded from the same database
dump) where the sorting on one was erroneous with regards to accented
characters.
After hours of fiddling I found out that the erroneous one was initdb'ed
with locale set to en_US, while the one correctly sorting was initdb'ed
with locale set to en_US.UTF-8. I pg_dumpall'ed the wrong one, redid the
initdb with locale set to en_US.UTF-8 and loaded the dumped databases,
now the sorting order was correct.
Is this expected behaviour (I do not think so)?
Nils
