Implementing Custom Character Sets - Teradata Database

1 Create the character set by defining:

The external-to-internal and internal-to-external hexadecimal codes for both lowercase and uppercase translation for each character in the set.

A unique character set name.

A unique identifier (use a value in the range 65 to 126).

See Creating a Custom Client Character Set.

2 Load the character set information into theDBC.CharTranslationsV. See “Loading a Custom Client Character Set” on page 76.

3 Enable the character set. See “Activating a Client Character Set” on page 79.

Note: A maximum of 16 character sets can be active at one time.

4 Optionally assign the character set as the default. See the section beginning with “System Determination of Client Character Set” on page 55.
