All,
I am looking for any insight into Global Language Support (GLS) with
Informix. In particular, pitfalls/limitations in implementation. Any
documents/case studies/comments would be appreciated ( besides "read
Informix GLS manual" ).
Example of questions I need answered.
How does Informix handle -
CREATE TABLE foo_lang
(
lang NCHAR( 1 ),
col1 NCHAR( 18 )
);
CREATE INDEX i01_foolang on foo_lang( lang, col1 );
-- Index built with DB_LOCALE=en_US.819
-- What if a user has CLIENT_LOCALE set to != en_US.819? Skip index?
Does Informix (or will they soon) allow multiple collated indexes on
same table/column? Should I care and why/why not?
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
