Re: PostgreSQL on z/OS UNIX?

Hi Tom,

No, I haven't tried at this point. I thought it would be a good first
step to find out whether anyone else had already tried, in order to
avoid reinventing any wheels.

z/OS UNIX does have certification as a UNIX system, but there are some
quirks. The most common sources of problems when porting packages to
z/OS UNIX are its use of EBCDIC, and autoconf problems. I guess it's
time for some fail/rinse/repeat.

Thanks, Gord Tomlin
