Were we even asked about the reason for that behavior? Their 'installation book' also contains a couple of infelicities; namely that they suggest using the "password" auth method (should be md5) and that they enable the TCP/IP connection by using the "-o -i" params to pg_ctl (should change postgresql.conf instead). -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.flickr.com/photos/alvherre/ We take risks not to escape from life, but to prevent life escaping from us. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq

Look at: http://www.opencrx.org/opencrx/1.11/pg.htm Nothing to add to Tom's response, but it does strike me as odd that they have a handbook in German and a localisation guide for their application but don't know about different sort orders in different locales. Might be worth asking on their support lists/groups about what the underlying system understands about locales and sorting. Oh, and if you could let them know about PG's locale handling at the same time that would be helpful indeed. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend

If these folk want C-locale sorting, they need to initdb in C locale. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
