Issue created Dec 06, 2021 by Antoine R. Dumont@ardumontOwner

Fix default collation configuration on staging databases

Following a discussion on irc, we installed the staging db without specifying a collation. This resulted in configuring en_US.UTF-8 on staging db (or even on the provenance server). This creates sorting discrepancies down the line [2].

This should be fixed. The M.O. is to create a db dump, scratch the db, create a new one (with the proper collation), finally restore the dump on new db [3]

  • [3] Top of my head following the discussion, this needs proper documentation source link
