I got a "stalled post" message because at the time of filing I was not on this list. I don't know when moderators would look at it, and if perhaps they deemed that it should not be posted, so it was discarded without me being notified. I have the text that was generated by the web form, and can send it again now that I am on the list, but I don't want to do so if that's bad form.
To add a little detail, this wasn't that I believed a sort wasn't correct alphabetically, lexicographically, numerically, etc., but rather when the sort was being performed. -Lee -----Original Message----- From: Tom Lane [mailto:t...@sss.pgh.pa.us] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 8:39 AM To: Lee McKeeman Cc: pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org Subject: Re: [BUGS] Status of issue 4593 "Lee McKeeman" <lmckee...@opushealthcare.com> writes: > This may not be the appropriate place to check this, but when I filed > the bug with the tracking number 4593, in relation to some sort order > behavior which seemed erroneous to me. That bug number never came by here --- might've gotten eaten by spam filters? Anyway, we've seen many many complaints about strange sort ordering, and every one of them boiled down to Postgres doing what the LC_COLLATE locale setting told it to. Try "show lc_collate". If it's not "C" you might wish to re-initdb in C locale. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
