The answer is simple for Oracle: It includes a whole zoo of locale =
mappings and uses each one as it is needed. This is one of the many =
things with Oracle that only grows over time but does never get smaller =
again.

I suspect it's similar with MariaDB, MySQL, SQL Server and others. Only =
PostgreSQL has no such thing as a local inventory and relies on either =
glibc or ICU.

Cheers,
