Re: Linux replication to FreeBSD problem

Yes,it is locale problem.
I do some more testing,and find that in my DB locale which is
zh_CN.UTF-8,the indexes on FreeBSD slave can works if the indexed data is
lower case ascii,it can't find data contain upper case.

Explicit set the column collate to "C" can solve the problem.
I will recreate all the index with collate "C".

Thanks very much!
