Hi to all,
We just tried to switch out database from LATIN 1
(ISO 8859-1) to UTF-8. After a few tests we found out some
problems:
- the upper and lower functions does not work
for all characters. Especially lower returns nothing if a umlaut is in the
converted string. The umlauts are not converted at all.
- the returned rows are not correctly sorted. ö is
before a and so on.
The server is a Suse 10 system. DB is Postgresql
8.0.3.
This sorting problem we had it before and it was
the problem was at local system settings. Now everything is switched to UTF-8
(or it seems so).
Please advise.
Thank you,
Andy.
