- Greetings,
-
- I am attempting to discover what the level of support is among the
- various RDBMSs is for foreign character sets. If you could answer
- via email, I would gladly summarize the results and post them on
- the net.
-
- For instance, I know that ORACLE V6 supports 8-bit characters (e.g. German
- umlauts, Spanish tildes) and ORACLE V7 will add 2-byte character sets
- (e.g. Asian and Arabic). What about the other vendors such as
- Informix, Ingres, Interbase/Borland, Sybase, and Rdb/DEC?
-
- Aufwiedersehen, au revoir, adios,
-
