to clarify. just trying to ensure I understand what PG 8.4 and 8.3 provide where you may have data from alternate languages where ideally you'd like them in the same table in the same database etc.
create table T ( c1 char( ...), c2 char (...) ... ) where c1 may contain thai, c2 korean, c3 turkish etc names
vs
create table TKO (c1 char(...)), create table TTH (c1 char (...))
vs
different databases etc

so where would I define something akin to what I can do in DB2 LUW where collate using system means to sort by the codeset. ie. without english, united states in LC_COLLATE.
USING CODESET UTF-8 TERRITORY US COLLATE USING SYSTEM
