Hi! So during DUTH sprints i took on an issue that i created over 3 years ago: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/21181...
The actual fix or improvement for my case right now actually really simple: class Collate(Func): function ='COLLATE' template = '(%(expressions)s) COLLATE "%(function)s"' And then using it like this: ordering = Collate( F('first_name'), function=collation) qs = qs.order_by(ordering.desc()) It was all actually given as answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18935712/queryset-sorting-specifying-column-collation-for-django-orm-query Going over this and making it work for the other databases (other than postgres), i need some help, because i know next to nothing about sqlite3, mysql and oracle. This is where i could use little help. To get additional collations working with postgresql i first need to create actualy locale files in my own computer like this: sudo locale-gen et_EE.UTF-8 sudo update-locale And then run the command in my database: CREATE COLLATION "et_EE" (LOCALE = "et_EE.utf8") And then i can use this collate function which will give me correct syntax like: SELECT ... FROM ... ORDER BY ... COLLATE "et_EE" DESC So this is where i could use your help - can someone provide me information about. Perhaps some of you can, with the cost of few minutes, save me some experimenting and trial-n-error time, by answering these questions: 1) how to do all these steps in sqlite3 (if at all possible and if not then what should be fallback/error, using Collate with sqlite3) 2) how to do all these steps in mysql (if at all possible and if not then what should be fallback/error, using Collate with mysql) 3) how to do all these steps in oracle (if at all possible and if not then what should be fallback/error, using Collate with oracle) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
