But I think I need to create the collation in the database, but I am trying to run the following statement: CREATE COLLATION nb_NO (LOCALE = nb_NO.utf8) But then I get this: ERROR: could not create locale "nb_no.utf8": No such file or directory DETAIL: The operating system could not find any locale data for the locale name "nb_no.utf8". I am using Fedora 21 and running locale -a shows these among the locales: nb_NO nb_NO.iso88591 nb_NO.utf8 What am I missing? I see the error message from pgsql shows the country code using lowercase, is that the problem? Any ideas?
