Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-4591:
-------------------------------------------
Hi Kim,
The docs look good. Thanks for writing them!
I've got a couple of ideas for some minor improvements:
1) Reference manual: In the list of valid attribute values, I think it would be
good to add one sentence explaining the typical meaning of the different
strengths. For example:
- PRIMARY typically means that only differences in the base letter are
considered significant, case and accents are not considered significant.
- SECONDARY typically means that case differences are not considered
significant, whereas differences in base letters or accents are significant.
- TERTIARY typically means that differences in the base letter, accents or
case are all considered significant.
- IDENTICAL means that all differences are considered significant.
2) tdevdvlpcollation: The "'a' with grave" part could be written as "'à' ('a'
with grave)" for clarity. (The escape sequence for "à" is "à", if you
would like to avoid non-ascii characters in the source file, although it should
be fine to type the character directly and save as UTF-8, see the declaration
of encoding in the header.)
Otherwise, the changes look great.

> Reporter: Kim Haase
> Assignee: Kim Haase

> The new feature implemented by DERBY-1748 needs to be documented. It appears
> that the following topics will need to be changed, at least:
> Reference Manual: collation=collation attribute
> Developer's Guide: "Creating a database with territory-based collation",
> "Character-based collation in Derby".
> It's pretty hard to tell from all the discussion under DERBY-1748 exactly
> what has changed and what the new feature does, so a functional spec for that
> issue that describes the new feature clearly would be very helpful.
