Hello PostgreSQL Developers,
I could not find a bug report to the functions lower() and upper() on
the todo-list.
Hopefully it is one, so that you are not bored by old tasks ...
Take a look at the code and the reactions of PostgreSQL: When I try to
convert german umlaute, e.g. Ä,Ö,Ü with lower(), I get no lower letters.
With upper() it is the same problem vice verser ...
All the best from Germany,
Hans
