Character collations determine the sort order and classification of characters. When creating a database with initdb, PostgreSQL normally sets the collation based on the operating system’s locale settings, but other special collations, such as “C,” “POSIX,” and “ucs_basic,” are available as alternatives. On Linux systems, updates to glibc can bring changes to collation rules.
