Key: CORE-3638
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-3638
Project: Firebird Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Charsets/Collation
Affects Versions: 2.5.1, 2.1.4, 2.5.0, 2.0.6, 3.0 Initial, 2.1.3, 2.1.2,
2.0.5, 2.1.1, 2.1.0, 3.0 Alpha 1, 2.0.7, 2.5.2, 2.1.5, 3.0 Beta 1, 3.0.0
Reporter: Philippe Makowski
Priority: Minor
The FR_FR collation appear to be completely weird.
0) Reason for FR_FR existence seems to be to remove accents, as otherwise would
be identical to FR_CA.
1) But some (most tilde/diaresis) letters are not removed when uppering.
2) Already upper-case letters don't lose the accents when uppered. I suppose
this is inconsistent with 1.
3) Lower-case is identical to FR_CA. Also seems inconsistent with 1.
it concerne all FR_FR collations : DB_FRA437,DB_FRA850, FR_FR, NEXT_FRA
IMHO FR_FR should be the same than FR_CA
perhaps we could have a FR_AI instead ?
Target is 3.0
no backport to not break existing code and index that rely on FR_FR
