Adaptive Server supports a wide variety of character sets, and you can localize error messages to suit your user community. By default, Adaptive Server is installed with a default character set of cp850, a binary sort order, and English as the default language. The changes required are described in this section.
Complete these steps before you add any user data to Adaptive Server. If your server contains data, follow the procedures outlined in the System Administration Guide to save and restore it.
Use the Server Config utility to change the default character set and sort order
Changing Adaptive Server defaults
Launch Server Config from: Start | Programs | Sybase | Adaptive Server Enterprise | Server Config.
Select “Configure Adaptive Server.”
Select the Adaptive Server you want to configure.
Click the Language button to set the defaults for character sets and sort orders.
