Hi,

How we can change the   Collate &  Ctype from “c”  to  “C.UTF-8” on existing production database.

SELECT datcollate FROM pg_database WHERE datname='wwkidbt';

datcollate

------------

C

postgres=# select version();

                                                 version

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


PostgreSQL 9.5.6 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Ubuntu 5.3.1-14ubuntu2) 5.3.1 20160413, 64-bit


There is not any official setup how to doit other than just pg_dump and load.
 

 

Please advice about the below method:

update pg_database set datcollate='C.UTF-8', datctype='C.UTF-8'  where datname='wwkidbt';

Is there any impact on data/corruption if we do via update command ?

sure - almost all your indexes will be broken. Direct update of system tables is usually really bad idea.

Pavel
 

Thanks,
