To be available for use, a client character set must be listed in the DBC.CharTranslationsV view and the Install Flag must be set to Y.

Note: The ASCII, EBCDIC, UTF8 and UTF16 client character sets are permanently enabled and do not appear in DBC.CharTranslationsV.

The following example shows the DBC.CharTranslationsV view in the default state, that is, with none of the standard Teradata client character set translation codes enabled.

   SELECT * FROM DBC.CharTranslationsV;
   *** Query completed. 29 rows found. 7 columns returned.
