Subject: COLLATING SEQUENCE (EBCDIC to ASCII)
Does anyone know how to change collating sequence in Oracle, either at the
database level or for a specific query?
We have a mainframe (ebcdic) app that is converted to NT (acsii) and some
special characteres (e.g. period(.) dash (-) etc.) not sorting properly.
If using functions, please show example,
Thanks
