Description: ILIKE does not care about locales
Details:
Hi!
As I don't want to risk getting things mixed up here in this very report,
lets assume:
s and t are strings with one 'international' character, one having the lower
case the other upper
lower(s) LIKE lower(t) yields True, as it should
s ILIKE t yields False --> I expect True
I tried this with LC_COLLATE=C and the rest LC_...=es_ES.utf8
dennisb from irc reported LC_everything=sv_SE.UTF-8 with version 8.1.0
having the same problems.
Some "non-normative" examples for s and t:
