Hello,
It is embarrassing to ask such a thing, but is there any way to sort character column values in EBCDIC order inside the
PostgreSQLserver? i.e. is it possible to use EBCDIC collation in PostgreSQL, say, by using ICU or something? We need
torun on a certain mainframe.
I see almost no hope from the following, but let me make sure.

"Hmm ... EBCDIC ... is that mandatory? Because there are a pretty large
number of ASCII dependencies in PG, mostly arising from our support of
multibyte character sets, which are all expected to be ASCII supersets.
If there's not a way to run the server process in ASCII-land, you're
likely dead in the water. I would not want to try to ferret out all
the dependencies."
