Please note that you + must never change between using the ICU patch and using system locale for the + same database cluster without REINDEXing all TEXT/VARCHAR columns or + dump+restore your database. Failing to do so will result in corrupted indexes + due to the differences between the locale definitions. ICU will always be the + better choice for speed and correctness. :) + + Also, the ICU patch used to support other unicode encodings than UTF-8, but + that has been removed due to lack of demand and the complicated testing + required. If you use another unicode encoding and rely on ICU for collation, + please refrain from upgrading the postgresql server and instead contact the + author named above. + 20160722: AFFECTS: users of emulators/virtualbox-ose AUTHOR: jkim@FreeBSD.org |
