All Teradata utilities notify the Teradata Access Module for OLE DB about the session character set they use.

To set session character sets, specify the character set name as follows:

  • For jobs launched from the Teradata OleLoad GUI, specify the session character set in the Advanced Settings dialog box.
  • For jobs launched without the Teradata OleLoad GUI, specify a character set name as follows:
    • Teradata FastExport, Teradata MultiLoad, or Teradata TPump – Specify the -c character-set-name parameter at runtime in the command line to set the session character set name.
    • BTEQ or Teradata FastLoad – Specify the .SET SESSION CHARSET command in a script.
    • Teradata PT – Specify the USING CHAR(ACTER) SET charset-id phrase in the Teradata PT job script.
