Server character set for the specified user.
For details about server character set options, see Teradata Vantage™ - Advanced SQL Engine International Character Set Support, B035-1125.
If you change the default character set for a user, you must recompile any UDFs the user previously created.
All changes affect only those columns created after the user definition has been modified. Columns created previously by this user retain their original server character set.
If you do not assign a default server character set, Vantage assigns one automatically using the default character set it retrieves from the DBS Control parameter DefaultCharacterSet.
