I can confirm that pg_upgrade does case-insensitive comparisons of encoding/locale names: static void check_locale_and_encoding(ControlData *oldctrl, ControlData *newctrl) { /* These are often defined with inconsistent case, so use pg_strcasecmp(). */ if (pg_strcasecmp(oldctrl->lc_collate, newctrl->lc_collate) != 0) pg_log(PG_FATAL, "old and new cluster lc_collate values do not match\n"); if (pg_strcasecmp(oldctrl->lc_ctype, newctrl->lc_ctype) != 0) pg_log(PG_FATAL, "old and new cluster lc_ctype values do not match\n"); if (pg_strcasecmp(oldctrl->encoding, newctrl->encoding) != 0) pg_log(PG_FATAL, "old and new cluster encoding values do not match\n"); } -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
