There's plenty of discussion in the archives about it, but basically ICU would represent a pretty enormous dependency and would lock us in to having no other backend encoding but UTF8. The state of OS X's POSIX-spec locale support is pretty pitiful, but on the whole I'd say if you need better UTF8 locale support you could use another OS. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
