Implementation Process - Teradata Database

The requirements for using client character sets vary by character set.

To use one of the four permanently enabled client character sets (ASCII, EBCDIC, UTF8, and UTF16), enable the character set as a client default. See “System Determination of Client Character Set” on page 55.

To use a Teradata standard client character set that is not permanently enabled:

1 Enable the character set in the DBC.CharTranslationsV view. See “Enabling a Client Character Set” on page 55.

2 Enable the character set as a client default. See “System Determination of Client Character Set” on page 55.
