I observe that with the apparently same locale settings on OSX and
Linux (stock Ubuntu 9.10), that the collations are different.
Here's my sample query:
select name from (
select 'A' as name
union
select 'a' as name
) tab
order by name asc
OSX: LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
Result:
name
A
a
Linux: LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
name
a
A
Also, I note that this is system-wide. If I sort a text file with
contents of A and a on separate lines . . . using /usr/bin/sort . . .
I get the same result.
Maybe the UTF8 collations on OSX (or Linux) are broken?
