Add built in language based ordering to Derby
---------------------------------------------
Key: DERBY-1478
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1478
Project: Derby
Type: Improvement
Components: SQL
Versions: 10.1.2.1
Reporter: Kathey Marsden
It would be good for Derby to have built in Language based ordering based on
locale specific Collator.
Language based ordering is an important feature for international deployment.
DERBY-533 offers one implementation option for this but according to the
discussion in that issue National Character Types carry a fair amount of
baggage with them especially in the form of concerns about conversion to and
from datetime and number types. Rick mentioned SQL language for collations as
an option for language based ordering. There may be other options too, but I
thought it worthwhile to add an issue for the high level functional concern, so
the best choice can be made for implementation without assuming that National
Character Types is the only solution.
