I think the real issue is that you need icu or libiconv installed. You will also need to know which EBCDIC code page you want: U.S. EBCDIC is cp37, IIRC. I suspect you will need to write a C or Python function that performs a test conversion, using icu or libiconv, and return a Boolean result. It should not be too difficult if you can write C or Python. - -- Regards, Dave [RLU #314465] *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* david.w.n...@googlemail.com (David W Noon) *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlM0wtYACgkQogYgcI4W/5TYsgCgwGf/HBL7XHGc5HrzYiLSkXcZ nv8An1Ysq9DEJw2vn/mRpY2UWv5sFHna =grZk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
