Обсуждение: upper and german umlauts

Hi,

i installed pgsql 7.0beta1 and i'm having problems with some special german
characters.

LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE is set to de_DE, i also tried LC_CTYPE=iso_8859_1
and de_DE.88591

Then i created a test-table with one varchar and one text field and inserted
records with the values a,b,d,ä,ö and ü. Select upper (varcharfield), upper
(textfield) will give me uppercase a,b,c but the ä,ö and ü will not be changed.

In case you cant see ä,ö and ü, it is a,o and u with two dots on.

In /usr/share/locale/de_DE i have the following files:
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        29970 Sep  9 20:49 LC_COLLATE
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        10428 Sep  9 20:49 LC_CTYPE
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         1024 Feb 22 20:28 LC_MESSAGES
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           94 Sep  9 20:49 LC_MONETARY
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           27 Sep  9 20:49 LC_NUMERIC
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          492 Sep  9 20:49 LC_TIME

Pgsql is configured with the following flags:
        --prefix=/usr \
        --enable-hba --enable-locale \
        --with-perl \
        --with-tcl --with-tk --with-x \
        --with-odbc --with-java \
        --with-python

I'm using Mandrake-Linux with glibc-2.1.1.

Can someone tell me what's wrong ?

   Are you sure it is correct data? Test it. Look into Postgres'
src/test/locale and create a test for your locale similar to those that are
there. I want to see your test  - I am collecting such test for different
locales.

Hi Oleg,

i have done some tests. I checked src/test/locale/koi8-r and that works.
src/test/locale/ISO8859-7 and also my de_DE.8859.1 did not work.

The reason: i tryed it with de_DE.ISO8859-1 but on my system in
/usr/share/locale/i18n/charmaps/ i found only a file named ISO-8859-1 so i
tryed that and, it works fine.

Attached you will find a test for de_DE.ISO-8859-1.

Thanks for help.

Armin
