+ Note that the unique key on this catalog is (<code class="structfield">collname</code>,
+ <code class="structfield">collencoding</code>, <code class="structfield">collnamespace</code>) not just
+ (<code class="structfield">collname</code>, <code class="structfield">collnamespace</code>).
+ <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> generally ignores all
+ collations that do not have <code class="structfield">collencoding</code> equal to
+ either the current database's encoding or -1, and creation of new entries
+ with the same name as an entry with <code class="structfield">collencoding</code> = -1
+ is forbidden. Therefore it is sufficient to use a qualified SQL name
+ (<em class="replaceable"><code>schema</code></em>.<em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em>) to identify a collation,
+ even though this is not unique according to the catalog definition.
+ The reason for defining the catalog this way is that
+ <span class="application">initdb</span> fills it in at cluster initialization time with
+ entries for all locales available on the system, so it must be able to
+ hold entries for all encodings that might ever be used in the cluster.
+ </p><p>
+ In the <code class="literal">template0</code> database, it could be useful to create
+ collations whose encoding does not match the database encoding,
+ since they could match the encodings of databases later cloned from
+ <code class="literal">template0</code>. This would currently have to be done manually.
