Hi all, I have set DB_LOCALE=en_us.utf8 at the server and created a database and a table. Now how to check whether the database supports multi-language. How to insert values. Any other env variables need to be set. Please advice. Regards, lloyd

I am not what type (language, code set) of data as an example I have used the windows code set and three random languages set CLIENT_LOCALE to ja_jp.sjisInsert Japanese data set CLIENT_LOCALE to ru_ru.1253insert Russian data set CLIENT_LOCALE to de_de.1252insert German data. To use the locale combination DB_LOCALE en_us.utf8 CLIENT_LOCALE de_de.1252 you need to have 3 locales on your server, en_us.utf8, de_de.utf8 and de_de.1252, de_de.utf8 is not installed by default and will need to be installed via the ILS. (International Language Supplement) current version is 3.30. This file would be installed to $INFORMIXDIR/gls/lc11/de_de/e01c.lco (utf8 locales are always called e01c.lco) Gerry.
