Kim Haase commented on DERBY-4627:
----------------------------------
That is a good idea, to make it a separate topic.
In fact I am wondering if it might make sense to spin off the section "Creating
a case-insensitive database" from
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.10/devguide/tdevdvlpcollation.html into a
separate topic also -- so that it too shows up in the TOC.
> Document how to install your own custom collation for use in sorting and
> comparing string data values.

> Key: DERBY-4627
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4627
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 10.6.1.0
> Reporter: Rick Hillegas
> Assignee: Kim Haase
>
> The Developer's Guide suggests that you are limited to the collations shipped
> with the JRE. Consider, for instance, this sentence in the section titled
> "Character-based collation in Derby":
> "Derby currently supports only running those rules that can be loaded
> dynamically from the running JVM based on the territory attribute. Overrides
> to these rules by the user are not supported."
> This is misleading. A long time ago, Knut wrote a blog explaining how to
> write your own custom collation, plug it into the JRE, and then use it on
> string data stored in Derby:
> http://blogs.sun.com/kah/entry/user_defined_collation_in_apache
> This is a very useful capability of Derby. We should document it.
