Both application and server locale definitions have a character set. The
application uses its character set when requesting character strings from the
server. If character set translation is enabled, the database server compares its
character set with that of the application to determine whether character set
translation is needed.
For a list of available character set labels, see "Character set labels" on page
326.
For how to find locale settings, see "Determining locale information" on page
345.
The client library or database server determines the character set as follows:
1 If the connection string specifies a character set, it is used.
For more information, see the CharSet connection parameter in the
Adaptive Server IQ Reference Manual.
2 ODBC and Embedded SQL applications check the SQLLOCALE
environment variable, if it exists.
