SQL Identifiers That Support Non-ASCII Characters

If you use a nondefault locale that supports a code set with non-ASCII characters, you can use these non-ASCII characters to form most SQL identifiers. Universal Server can support non-ASCII characters in the following SQL identifiers:

    Figure 3-1 lists the SQL identifiers in which all Informix database servers can support non-ASCII characters.

    Figure 4-3 shows the additional SQL identifiers in which Universal Server can support non-ASCII characters. The SQL Identifier column lists the name of the database object. The SQL Segment column shows the segment that gives the complete syntax of the identifier in the Informix Guide to SQL: Syntax. The Notes column describes any special considerations for the identifier and also provides an example of an SQL statement that creates or uses the identifier.
