Hi Tom,
EBCDIC isn't strictly mandatory, but it is the lingua franca of
mainframes, so for most applications not running EBCDIC would result in
constant translation between EBCDIC and ASCII, which can become a
performance issue. The platform does support ASCII and Unicode, but in
most cases y

avoid reinventing any wheels.

Hello,
I see that PostgreSQL will run on S/390 and S/390x processors, but I can
find no mention of the z/OS operating system on the web site, in the
documentation or in the mailing list archives.
Has there been a known attempt to port PostgreSQL to z/OS UNIX?
