Teradata UTF-8 and UTF-16 session character sets on Windows work with the Translation DLL selected by the Translation DLL=<option> keyword. The following table indicates SQLDriverToDataSource conversions. The subsequent table describes SQLDataSourceToDriver conversions.
| Condition | Function of SQLDriverToDataSource |
|---|---|
| UTF-16 session character set on Windows | Convert Windows application code page to UTF-16 |
| Other session character set on Windows | Convert UTF-16 to session character set |
| Condition | Function of SQLDataSourceToDriver |
|---|---|
| UTF16 session character set on Windows | Convert UTF16 to Windows application code page |
| Other session character set on Windows | Convert session character set to UTF-16 |
User-defined session character sets can be used without a translation DLL. The conversion is based on the current application code page.
KANJIEBCDIC5038_0I is supported on Windows systems when set up as a Japanese machine (CP932). Other configurations are not supported. This character set is used for communications to and from the database. The application must use the Windows CP932 session character set when communicating with the ODBC driver. This behavior is identical to KANJIEUC_0U.
