Does anyone know how to change collating sequence in Oracle, either at the database level or for a specific query? We have a mainframe (ebcdic) app that is converted to NT (acsii) and some special characteres (e.g. period(.) dash (-) etc.) not sorting properly. If using functions, please show example, Thanks
