lc_collate is set differently in the two installations --- but even if
it's the same, there are often platform-specific interpretations of
the sorting rules. (Not to mention that OS X is flat out broken when
it comes to sorting UTF8 data ...)
I just ran these:
linux:
on linux# SELECT CASE WHEN 'apache' > '!yada' THEN 'TRUE' ELSE 'FALSE' END FROM pg_user; case------- FALSE(1 row)# show lc_collate; lc_collate------------- en_US.UTF-8(1 row)
------------------------
on mac os x:
# SELECT CASE WHEN 'apache' > '!yada' THEN 'TRUE' ELSE 'FALSE' END FROM pg_user;
case
------
TRUE
(1 row)
# show lc_collate;
lc_collate
-------------
en_US.UTF-8
(1 row)
-----------------------
Why is the linux postgres saying false with the lc_collage set the way it is?
