Is there anywhere that gives you all the available collations and their definitions? I found with the C collation it now sorts the spaces correct but it is also case sensitive which messes with some of our other sorts.

You might be happier using "C" collation. Unfortunately that requires re-initdb'ing your database (as of existing PG releases). regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-sql mailing list (pgsql-sql@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-sql
