Bug reference: 10707
Logged by: FLAESCH Sebastien
Email address: sf(at)4js(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 9.4beta1
Operating system: Linux Debian (3.14-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.14.4-1)
Description:
Created my test1 db with utf8 charset, when using the UPPER() function, only
ASCII chars are converted to uppercase.
I am missing a configuration option?
I have also 9.3.2 installed, and the characters are converted to uppercase.
test1=# SELECT pg_encoding_to_char(encoding) FROM pg_database WHERE datname
= 'test1';
pg_encoding_to_char
---------------------
UTF8
(1 row)
test1=# select upper('âãäåçèéêëô') ;
upper
------------
âãäåçèéêëô
(1 row)

No, locale (particularly lc_ctype). You set that at initdb or database
creation time.

Hello Amit,
Yes I found the problem, in fact I have created my db with:
$ createdb test1 -E utf8
Seems that I need to specify the locale explicitly with 9.4:
$ createdb test1 -E utf8 -l en_US.utf8
I think I did not use the -l option in 9.3.2 ...
Or maybe it defaults to the current LC_* settings in the shell and I used different
settings when I created the database with 9.3.2... I wonder...
So sorry for reporting this as a bug, it's ok now.
Thanks for the answer!
Seb
