Is it a windows box?

As far as I investigated I didn't find one. I hoped to find such a setlocale-compatible name or a hint where to search here... > Or, you cannot use it, unless we modify PostgreSQL to > use Win32 locale functions instead of standard libc ones -- but it is > hardly acceptable. I thought PostgreSQL is using OS specific functions for sorting (means Win32 functions?). This sounds not good for my request. So I ask the whole audience: Are others out there asking for a support for the alternate sort orders? Is it worth to discuss further in this direction? Here an other Idea: Is there a way to define a custom collation for a database?
