Fair enough. This is clearly an omission that was made in 41839b7ab, the commit that added/fixed Windows support for ICU. Hopefully the omission can be corrected for v10. I see this as a surprising behavior for users, since ICU locales on all other platforms *will* have much faster sorting than libc locales (often more than 3x faster). This is mostly because ICU brings back abbreviated keys. 3x - 5x faster is more of a qualitative difference than a quantitative one, IMHO. That having been said, I'm certainly not going to insist on a v10 fix for this issue. -- Peter Geoghegan -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
