The pre-create use case would look like: SELECT * FROM describe_collation(locale_string text, collprovider "char") Post-creation, one could do: SELECT * FROM describe_collation(collcollate, collprovider) FROM pg_catalog.pg_collation WHERE oid = :OID; Possibly it could exists as SELECT * FROM describe_collation(oid) but that's essentially the same function. Or I'm missing something about why we'd need two functions. Best regards, -- Daniel Vérité PostgreSQL-powered mailer: http://www.manitou-mail.org Twitter: @DanielVerite
