PostgreSQL utf8 character comparison
问题 I am changing from MySQL to PostgreSQL but can't find equivalent to MySQL's collation utf8_general_ci . What I'm trying to achieve here is to be able to compare strings using general language rules rather then binary comparison, i.e. í = i, š = s, ḩ = h, etc... Is there a way how to make PostgreSQL search for strings using general language rules? Many thanks! 回答1: This is, basically, what most modern postgresql installations will do for you by default.
