I can confirm this with de_DE.utf8. We currently initialize all our
PostgreSQL database clusters like this:
unset LANG
export LC_ALL=POSIX
initdb --encoding="UNICODE" --lc-collate="de_DE.utf8" --lc-ctype="[EMAIL
PROTECTED]"
Only this way, ILIKE and "ORDER BY" work as expected. I don't know about
upper() and lower() though; I only tested ILIKE and ORDER BY.
Tino.
PS: Is there a place to search bugs? I couldn't find one (apart from the
mailing list) last time I was troubleshooting some problem.
