Description:
When I have collation_connection set to "cp1250_czech_cs", it works not as expected:

SELECT "s" > "S";
  1

SELECT "sa" > "So";
  0

Seems like, it's insensitive on strings, which length is greater then 1.

I think, that result should by:

SELECT "sa" > "So";
  1

This works with collation  latin1_general_cs.

How to repeat:
See description.

The example above is wrong... I apologize for that... Here's better one:

mysql with cp1250_czech_cs collation thinks, that "S" < "s" < "Sa" < "sa" < "SO" < "So" < "so".

In my opinion, that should be "s" < "S" < "sa" < "Sa" < "so" < "So" < "SO" (as it is in latin2_czech_cs collation).

Confirm.

tested on linux, mysql 4.1.9-standard and got:

Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 1 to server version: 4.1.9-standard-log

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

Hello Roman,
This is not a bug. This is expected behaviour.
The collations work as their authors designed them.
If you need another collation, feel free to post a 
feature request.
