Subject: pgsql: ltree: fix case-insensitive matching.
Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2025 21:00:47 +0000
Message-ID: <E1vVcA2-0017xT-31@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)
ltree: fix case-insensitive matching.
Previously, ltree_prefix_eq_ci() used lowercasing with the default
collation; while ltree_crc32_sz() used tolower() directly. These were
equivalent only if the default collation provider was libc and the
encoding was single-byte.
Change both to use casefolding with the default collation.
Backpatch through 18, where the casefolding APIs were introduced. The
bug exists in earlier versions, but would require some adaptation.
A REINDEX is required for ltree indexes where the database default
collation is not libc.
