initdb just sets "default" collation/ctype for `template1`. when collation/ctype needs to be different, `CREATE DATABASE` must use the template `template0`. Collation cannot be changed on a database after it has been created as it affects the index creation as well. -f -- why is the alphabet in that order? is it because of that song?
