My concern is that pg_bigm uses bigmtextcmp() when comparing two strings, but this function doesn't take into consideration the locale. OTOH, PostgreSQL basically uses bttextcmp() to compare two strings, and it seems to take into consideration the locale. So, I'm not confident that no problem would occur under the locale other than C. Thought? Regards, -- Fujii Masao
