Not trying to hi-jack this subject, but I have questions about
sorting off mainframes with disk geometry that used CKD at a
minimum, or FBA.
Would a sort program have to know/understand how the disk is
formatted? Example: RAID-5? or EXT, EXT4, NTFS, FAT32, etc.?
I've only used a sort that came with a compiler (specifically the
Fujitsu COBOL compiler).
I understand that Linux does have a sort, but you have to
experiment with its commands before you will get it right.
It would be interesting if some sort could be ported to Linux so
it would run more like the sorts we are used to.

Don't really know the answer, however, DB2 with an order by must perform
some kind of sort. Or any Linux relational database.
The RDB dream didn't really eventuate, we're still sorting lots of data the
old way.

Hi all
DFSORT has impressed us greatly with its versatility, offering
functionalities beyond mere sorting, including robust key-based fuzzy
querying at exceptional speeds. As we are currently transitioning our data
from a mainframe (ZOS) environment to Linux, we are in need of tools that
can efficiently handle high-performance sorting and fuzzy querying of large
historical binary data on Linux.
Any advice or suggestions on optimizing these processes on Linux would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
