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

find no mention of the z/OS operating system on the web site, in the

Has there been a known attempt to port PostgreSQL to z/OS UNIX?

If it's reasonably much like other Unixen, it should Just Work.
Have you tried?
