LC_TIME_NAMES=de_AT; unusual name for february

Details

    Description

      hi,

      set LC_TIME_NAMES = 'de_AT';
      select monthname('2016-02-01');
      +-------------------------+
      | monthname('2016-02-01') |
      +-------------------------+
      | Feber                   |
      +-------------------------+
      

      According to the Austrian Standards Institute 'Februar' should be used for the second month of the year, 'Feber' is an old form, only used in some parts of Austria.

      Solution: replace 'Feber' with 'Februar' in sql_locale.cc :

      I assign a patch for sql_locale.cc (branch 10.1 / 2016-04-16 11:30)

      thanks

            Could you show some authoritative source to prove this point? Wikipedia says that ÖWB is the authoritative source, but it's not available online...

            Got this by email:

            As soon as I get a written statement from the Austrian Standards
            Institute, I'll send it to you. I just had a telefoncall.
            If you have a look on any official site of the autrian government
            (e.g. https://www.ris.bka.gv.at/) you find 'Februar' and not 'Feber'
            for the second month of the year.

            Furthermore LibreOffice, bash (GNU coreutils 8.21) uses Februar and
            not Feber - see attached.

            This was, apparently, an issue in glibc too, in 2012: link
