[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1478?page=comments#action_12458222 ] Mamta A. Satoor commented on DERBY-1478: ----------------------------------------
While researching the net on internationalization and localization, I found an excellent tutorial by Sun at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/i18n/index.html Anyone who wants to get familiarized with the concepts related to internationalization will benefit from this tutorial. > Add built in language based ordering and like processing to Derby > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-1478 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1478 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: SQL > Affects Versions: 10.1.2.1 > Reporter: Kathey Marsden > Assigned To: Mamta A. Satoor > > 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. > For possible 10.1 workaround and examples see: > http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/LanguageBasedOrdering -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
