I am not sure it is normal or not.
But in Chinese, the lower case should be greater than upper, same as
locale C.

The operating system locale determines that, so you need to look there
if you don't agree with the result.

I see, thank you.

[HACKERS] compare lower case and upper case when encoding is utf-8

2012-06-16 Thread Quan Zongliang

Hi hackers,

I found that lower case is less than upper case when the db is created 
with utf8.

I tried below
locale   en_US.utf8   'A'<'a' false
locale   ja_JP.utf8   'A'<'a' true
locale   zh_CN.utf8   'A'<'a' false
Under Windows
locale   Chinese_China   'A'<'a' false

I am not sure it is normal or not.
But in Chinese, the lower case should be greater than upper, same as 
locale C.


I made some code try to fix it.
It seems to work fine.
