Обсуждение: (collation) Building postgresql on FreeBSD, the pros and cons of icu
Hi all,
By default, FreeBSD ports does not build postgresql with icu (http://www.icu-project.org/).
By default, FreeBSD ports does not build postgresql with icu (http://www.icu-project.org/).
Some questions:
1) It is necessary that icu should be used on FreeBSD?
I have heard that FreeBSD's locale (glibc) has sorting problem with Postgresql UTF8 DB.

2) After searching in google, it was said that using ICU is faster (in terms of sorting in locale).
3) Any other pros and cons?
Thanks,
Patrick

Postgres does not have any option to use ICU, default or otherwise. Nor is it likely to happen in future, judging from previous discussions of the idea. regards, tom lane

OK, now I understand that FreeBSD case, they have a specific patch to use icu.
The default PostgreSQL does use ICU.
Thanks for pointing that out.

Hi Tom, Patrick FreeBSD indeed has a config option to build with ICU, just # /usr/ports/databases/postgresql93-server # make config and you will be able to see this. The relevant README is here : http://people.freebsd.org/~girgen/postgresql-icu/README.html Patrick also you may build postgresql by hand and apply the patch manually from : /usr/ports/databases/postgresql93-server Although being in a non-english speaking company, i have not tried this neither at work or at home. Hope that helps. > > regards, tom lane > > -- Achilleas Mantzios

Hi Achilleas,
Sorry I have hit to send button too fast in the last mail...
Yes, I know FreeBSD has a specific patch to use ICU on Postgresql.
And officially Postgresql, do not come with ICU patch natively.
Thanks.
