* mysql: keep S3 list order byte-lexicographic regardless of name column collation
ORDER BY name and the name > ? pagination predicate follow the column
collation, so a case-insensitive filemeta.name (e.g. utf8mb3_general_ci)
returns S3 keys out of byte order and breaks clients that merge two sorted
listings.
Detect the live name collation at startup; only when it isn't binary, wrap
the list comparison, prefix, and ORDER BY in BINARY name so order and
pagination stay consistent. Correctly configured utf8mb4_bin tables keep
their indexed range scan unchanged, and the operator gets a warning to
convert the column.
* postgres: keep S3 list order byte-lexicographic regardless of name column collation
ORDER BY name and the name > $n pagination predicate follow the column or
database collation, so a locale-aware filemeta.name (e.g. the en_US.UTF-8
database default) returns S3 keys out of byte order and breaks clients that
merge two sorted listings.
Detect the live name collation at startup; only when it isn't byte-ordered,
wrap the list comparison, prefix, and ORDER BY in COLLATE "C" so order and
pagination stay consistent. A byte-ordered (C/POSIX/C.UTF-8) column keeps its
indexed range scan unchanged, and the operator gets a warning to declare the
column COLLATE "C".
