Collation support was tightened in 8.4; a lot of users are affected by similar problems. Technically, you shouldn't have used a KOI8U locale in 8.2 to begin with, because that encoding wasn't supported by PostgreSQL back then. Only that 8.2 didn't check that. It would be fairly simple to create conversion support between KOI8R and KOI8U, if you would like to look into that. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
