Re: Per-column collation

Hello

I am checking a patch. I found a problem with initdb

[postgres(at)pavel-stehule postgresql]$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D
/usr/local/pgsql/data/
could not change directory to "/home/pavel/src/postgresql"
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale en_US.utf8.
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to UTF8.
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".
