The two collations will probably not behave identically, since PostgreSQL uses
the
operating system collations instead of having ist own, and odds are that
Microsoft's
collations and glibc's are slightly different.
I don't know if the impact will be large; maybe run a couple of tests to see if
the
ordering is similar enough for your purposes.
I don't think that the actual encoing (UTF-8 or Windows-1252) has any impact on
the ordering,
but I am not certain.
