Bug reference: 3737
Logged by: Jonas Forsman
Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.10
Operating system: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Description: lower/upper fails to match extended chars in LATIN1
Details:
Try:
select * from table where lower(address) like '%Ã¥%'
This select fails to find addresses including capital Ã… and similars in
LATIN1 (like Å, Ä, Ö).
The behavior of lower() depends on your locale. What locale are you
running in? Make sure your locale matches the encoding.
Exact locale names and behavior are defined by the operating system, but
for example on Debian, which is probably the same as Ubuntu in this
case, use
initdb -D data --locale=sv_SE.iso88591 --encoding=LATIN1
for Swedish.
Also make sure that your client_encoding is set correctly. For example,
if you run the query in psql in a terminal that uses UTF-8 encoding, you
need to "SET client_encoding='UTF-8'"
See the manual for more details:
