ru_RU.UTF-8 locale sorting bug on solaris 10 x86

807559Oct 13 2006 — edited Oct 13 2006
I have two machines solaris 10 and 10/06 x86 with all patches. Both have the same issue.

Try to list filenames with russian letters in to locales ru_RU.UTF-8 and en_US.UTF-8.

(try use first 3 russian letters in correct order - ?, ?, ?)

In en_US.UTF-8 sorting works as expected. I have - ?, ?, ?
In ru_RU.UTF-8 sorting does not work. I have - ?, ?, ?

Example:

$ cd /tmp
$ touch ?
$ touch ?
$ touch ?

$ export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
$ locale

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

$ ls -lh

... ?
... ?
... ?

$ export LC_ALL=ru_RU.UTF-8
$ locale

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=ru_RU.UTF-8

$ ls -lh

... ?

ps: for what reason this forum does not support international characters :-(

wm_concat is un-documented hence not supported by oracle.
Try some alternative 
select 
rtrim (xmlagg (xmlelement (e, ename || ',')).extract ('//text()'), ',') enames
from 
emp
where deptno=30
Some good example available check this.

Hi,

Please check the database version you are using.

wm_concat is available from 11g Release 2.

Incorrect.

wm_concat is undocumented and shouldn't be used.

Even Tom Kyte says so... 9967699

From 11gR2, there is a new documented function called LISTAGG...
