My understanding is that the entire set of localization parameters needs to be
decided upon when the initdb is done and can never be changed later. Is that
right?

I have a multi-lingual web site, I want to be able to sort using collation
rules for en_US, en_CA, and fr_CA depending on the current web site user.
There's no way I can do a database query to do these sorts is there?
