Has case sensitivity changed between 8.0.1 and 8.0.3 or am I missing
some setting somewhere?
I try the following sql on two database servers and get different results:
create table test (val varchar(10));
insert into test values ('A');
insert into test values ('a');
select * from test where val < 'a';
Results on 8.0.1 linux server (UNICODE)
val
-----
(0 rows)
Results on 8.0.3 windows server (UNICODE)
val
-----
A
(1 row)
I am guessing that the 8.0.3 on windows is the correct version - but
what changes this and how can I set it?
regards

Nope.

Unicode doesn't work at all well on Windows. Consider using a different
encoding. Also, you'd better check that you have matching locale and
encoding settings on both those installations ...

I looked into the problem further - and could not repeat the problem on
my windows XP machine. The problem was isolated to a server which uses
the 64bit edition of W2K3 server. Otherwise the W2K3 64bit edition seems
to run PG ok.
Are there any plans for fixing the UNICODE encoding on Windows?
