HCL Domino Designer Basic User Guide and Reference
Basic product usage information and programming language reference information.
Connectors
Connectors provide native access to a wide variety of DBMS products, ODBC, the platform File system, Enterprise Resource Planning systems, and Transaction Processing systems.
LSX for Connectors
LotusScript® Extensions for Connectors (LC LSX) enhances the power of Notes® by extending its scripting to data outside of Notes through the use of Connectors. The programming model is independent of the individual connector. This eliminates the need to learn each individual system, while at the same time allowing experienced users to access the individual features of a specific system.
Appendix D Character Sets
This appendix provides information about character sets, including character set translation, character sort order, and a list of the character sets supported by the Connector LotusScript® Extensions (LC LSX).
Character Set Considerations
Considerations when working with character sets are listed as follows.

Character Set Considerations

Considerations when working with character sets are listed as follows.

When using the Oracle Connector, set the notes.ini variable "EIOracle8NativeText" to a valid Oracle code page to force the translation of all transferred Oracle data to that code page.
Although HEI provides support for the GB18030 character set, some HEI-supported external database systems and OS platforms do not. In order for HEI work with GB18030 character set correctly, you must include the following statement in the notes.ini file on the Domino® server:
EINativeText=GB18030

Note: This variable is obsolete for the Connector for DB2® on IBM® i. Beginning in release 8.0.2, HEI and DECS always use Unicode as the native character set on IBM® I.
When using international character sets such as German, where the comma character is used as the decimal delimiter, the comma character cannot also be used as a list delimiter.
