Sybase IQ can carry out character set translation among character sets that represent the same characters, but at different positions in the character set or code page. There needs to be a degree of compatibility between the character sets for this to be possible. For example, character set translation is possible between EUC-JIS and Shift-JIS character sets, but not between EUC-JIS and OEM code page 850.
This section describes how Sybase IQ carries out character set translation. This information is provided for advanced users, such as those who may be deploying applications or databases in a multi-character-set environment.
