Teradata MultiLoad also supports user-defined session character sets when the character sets defined for the database are not appropriate for the site. Use a session character set that matches the data, such as:
- EBCDIC037_0E for mainframe-attached clients (for the United States or Canada)
- LATIN1_0A, LATIN9_0A (for Western European languages) or UTF-8 for UNIX system clients
- LATIN1252_0A for Western European Windows clients
Do not use ASCII or EBCDIC session character sets.
For information on defining a character set, see Teradata Vantage™ - SQL Data Definition Language Detailed Topics , B035-1184 .
