Add a column collprovider to pg_collation that determines which library provides the collation data. The existing choices are default and libc, and this adds an icu choice, which uses the ICU4C library. The pg_locale_t type is changed to a union that contains the provider-specific locale handles. Users of locale information are changed to look into that struct for the appropriate handle to use. Also add a collversion column that records the version of the collation when it is created, and check at run time whether it is still the same. This detects potentially incompatible library upgrades that can corrupt indexes and other structures. This is currently only supported by ICU-provided collations. initdb initializes the default collation set as before from the `locale -a` output but also adds all available ICU locales with a "-x-icu" appended. Currently, ICU-provided collations can only be explicitly named collations. The global database locales are still always libc-provided. ICU support is enabled by configure --with-icu.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
