Convert to BCP47 language tags before storing in the catalog, except during binary upgrade or when the locale comes from an existing collation or template database. The resulting language tags can vary slightly between ICU versions. For instance, "@colBackwards=yes" is converted to "und-u-kb-true" in older versions of ICU, and to the simpler (but equivalent) "und-u-kb" in newer versions. The process of canonicalizing to a language tag also understands more input locale string formats than ucol_open(). For instance, "fr_CA.UTF-8" is misinterpreted by ucol_open() and the region is ignored; effectively treating it the same as the locale "fr" and opening the wrong collator. Canonicalization properly interprets the language and region, resulting in the language tag "fr-CA", which can then be understood by ucol_open(). This commit fixes a problem in prior versions due to ucol_open() misinterpreting locale strings as described above. For instance, creating an ICU collation with locale "fr_CA.UTF-8" would store that string directly in the catalog, which would later be passed to (and misinterpreted by) ucol_open(). After this commit, the locale string will be canonicalized to language tag "fr-CA" in the catalog, which will be properly understood by ucol_open(). Because this fix affects the resulting collator, we cannot change the locale string stored in the catalog for existing databases or collations; otherwise we'd risk corrupting indexes. Therefore, only canonicalize locales for newly-created (not upgraded) collations/databases. For similar reasons, do not backport.

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: https://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.
