pg_collkey enables the use of ICU library's collation functions with PostgreSQL database server by providing a convenient wrapper.
If you're looking for a way to use the collation functions of the ICU library with a PostgreSQL database server, pg_collkey may be just what you need. This handy wrapper lets you easily specify the desired locale for sorting UTF-8 strings right in your SQL query, without having to set it during database installation.
One of the great things about pg_collkey is that it supports the default Unicode collation (DUCET), which means you don't have to worry about complicated setup or configuration. Plus, you can choose whether or not to make punctuation a primary collation attribute, and even limit the level of comparison so you can ignore accents or other details.
But that's not all! With pg_collkey, numeric sequences of strings can be recognized, which means you can sort things like 'test2' before 'test10' without any trouble. The library is also dependent on ICU, which ensures fast and accurate sorting.
And if you're looking for the latest improvements, the newest release adds support for PostgreSQL 8.2. So if you're looking for a powerful tool to help you sort and organize your database, pg_collkey is definitely worth checking out.
