Set locale per query?

Hi,

Is there a way to set locale per query (i use latest JDBC drivers). I am in
situation, where we need to make ORDER BY querys over data that is in
various langages - English, Russian, Estonian, Latvian. I know that there
are issues with indexing that column in such case, but what are my options
other then sort results in my program manally.

There's no support for that in the standard backend. If you check in
the list archives, someone has posted a sorting function that takes
locale as one argument --- not sure about efficiency but it might do as
a stopgap. I believe it was last posted just a couple weeks ago in
-patches or -hackers.

Hi, I have some problems with locale module. On my workstation, changing locale doesn't have effect: Python 2.3 (#1, Sep 13 2003, 00:49:11) on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import locale >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'nl_NL')

I'm sitting here with a Debian Linux 'Woody' system with the default Python 2.2 installation, and I want the re module to understand that re.compile(r'\W+'. re.LOCALE) doesn't match my national, accented characters. I don't quite understand how the locale module reasons about these things, and Python doesn't seem to act as other programs on my system. Bug or my mistake? Here's my environment: frailea> env |grep -e LC -e LANG

Greetings. I am confused about C++ standard library locale stuff. It seems as if the implementations of locales are not part of the library, but only some guideline classes are there. What is the standard conformant way of formatting and parsing locale specific date, time, strings with various character encoding, etc. Thanks

Hello, I hope someone can illuminate this situation for me. Here's the nutshell: 1. On start I call locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,''), the getlocale. 2. If this returns "C" or anything without 'utf8' in it, then things start to go downhill: 2a. The app assumes unicode objects internally. i.e. Whenever there is

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
