The named entity that is called a collation works for a character repertoire. It would need to handle different charsets for that repertoire of course. So there would be one collation called say ucs_sv and not utf8_sv, utf16_sv, utf32_sv. Anyway, this is not a problem. -- /Dennis Björklund ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
