Jira needs to check the collation of the DB before it starts

XMLWordPrintable

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Server. Using JIRA Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Jira needs a specific collation to make things work.

      We should have a check that for every DB Engine the proper collation is used.

      If not a BIG message should be written in the logs stating that some functionalities are not going to work because of this.

      For the different DBs the collations are :

      • Oracle : BINARY
      • Mysql: utf8_bin
      • Postgres : C or POSIX
      • SQL Server : SQL_Latin1_General_CP437_CI_AI or SQL_Latin1_General_CI_AI
      • HSQLDB : TBD
