Usage Notes  

Teradata ARC can be used with a database that uses an alternate character set. Alternate character sets available for use with Teradata ARC include kanji ideographs, katakana, Korean, and traditional and simplified Chinese.

Use either CSNAME or CS as shorthand for CHARSETNAME.

Teradata ARC uses the specified character set when connecting to the database. If the option is not specified, Teradata ARC uses one of these default character sets for the client system:

  • EBCDIC for channel-attached
  • ASCII for network-attached
