FYI, PostgreSQL 8.4 introduced database level collation. Before that, yes, you need to re-init your data dir. > initdb /path/to/data/dir --lc_ctype=C --lc_collation=C > --lc_message=en_US.UTF8 --lc_monetary=en_US.UTF8 --lc_numeric=en_US.UTF8 > --lc_time=en_US.UTF8 -E UTF8 Maybe you meant --lc_collate ?
