One of our admins did me a favor and upgraded my build server ahead of schedule. So I can both test our current PostgreSQL version as well as rebuild it if necessary.

I can't test all of our data. That'd take quite a few months or more. I just can try to identify some crucial databases and columns. When those tests are done, I can only pray and hope for the best.

I already expressed the idea of changing all locales to ICU. The problem there is that I'd have to create new instances and then move each database individually. I wish I could convert already running databases… This also takes time. Still, I think I'm going to try this route. It's always a gamble if reindexing is needed or not with any glibc change.

Cheers,
Paul
