Changing default character set, sort order or language

Adaptive Server supports a wide variety of character sets and you can localize error messages to suit your user community.

Adaptive Server is installed with a default character set of iso_1 (ISO 8859-1), a binary sort order, and English as the default language.

• Changing the default language
  Configure Adaptive Server to deliver messages in a language other than English, install messages for non-English languages and set the default language.
• Changing defaults
  Complete these steps before adding user data to Adaptive Server.
