The indexes on the shared system tables (eg, pg_database) are the only issue here. One possible solution is to require that no locale-aware datatypes ever be used in these indexes. I think right now this is true because "name" doesn't use locale-aware sorting; but we'd have to be careful not to break the restriction in future. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
