Hi, admins.
I'm posting this message hoping that someone (appropriated) from Digital
sees it.
When installing PostgreSQL v6.4 on my system (a nice free
Object-Relational DBMS, for those of you who didn't know it), I have
noticed that the implementation of strcoll() is broken for, at least, the
locales es_ES.ISO8859-1 and fr_FR.ISO8859-1.
The problem is that when you compare mixed-case strings the output of
strcoll() is inverted. Normally, "A" is considered "smaller" than "a", and
so does strcmp(). But, strcoll() consideres "A" *greater* than "a", and
thus the sort orders are reversed. It is a minor problem, but somewhat
annoying.
If someone knows a better way to report this bug, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Pedro J. Lobo
