Chapter 10: Configuring Client/Server Character Set Conversions

Conversion for native character sets

Adaptive Server supports character set conversion between native character sets belonging to the same language group. If the server has a native character set as its default, the clients’ character sets must belong to the same language group. Figure 10-1 is an example of a Western European client/server system. In this example, the clients’ character sets and the Adaptive Server default character set all belong to Group 1. Data is correctly converted between the client character sets and the server default character set. Since they all belong to the same language group, the clients can view all data on the server, no matter which client submitted the data.
