Generally, this should be avoided, but it can happen in legitimate circumstances, such as when upgrading the operating system to a new major version or when using +\fBpg_upgrade\fR +to upgrade to server binaries linked with a newer version of ICU\&. When this happens, all objects depending on the collation should be rebuilt, for example, using +\fBREINDEX\fR\&. When that is done, the collation version can be refreshed using the command +ALTER COLLATION \&.\&.\&. REFRESH VERSION\&. This will update the system catalog to record the current collation version and will make the warning go away\&. Note that this does not actually check whether all affected objects have been rebuilt correctly\&. +.PP +When using collations provided by +libc, version information is recorded on systems using the GNU C library (most Linux systems), FreeBSD and Windows\&. When using collations provided by ICU, the version information is provided by the ICU library and is available on all platforms\&. +.if n \{\ +.sp +.\} +.RS 4 +.it 1 an-trap +.nr an-no-space-flag 1 +.nr an-break-flag 1 +.br +.ps +1 +\fBNote\fR +.ps -1 +.br +.PP +When using the GNU C library for collations, the C library\*(Aqs version is used as a proxy for the collation version\&. Many Linux distributions change collation definitions only when upgrading the C library, but this approach is imperfect as maintainers are free to back\-port newer collation definitions to older C library releases\&. +.PP +When using Windows for collations, version information is only available for collations defined with BCP 47 language tags such as +en\-US\&. +.sp .5v +.RE +.PP +For the database default collation, there is an analogous command +ALTER DATABASE \&.\&.\&.
