SQL featuresThese topics explain how the GLS feature affects the HCL® OneDB® implementation of SQL.
Character data typesThe locale affects the collation of built-in SQL character data types.
Localized collation of character dataThe choice of locale can affect the collating order of NCHAR and NVARCHAR character data types.
The NVARCHAR data typeThe NVARCHAR data type stores character data in a variable-length field. Data can be a string of single-byte or multibyte letters, digits, and other characters that are supported by the code set of your database locale.
Handle NVARCHAR dataWithin a client application, always manipulate NVARCHAR data in the CLIENT_LOCALE of the client application.

Handle NVARCHAR data

Within a client application, always manipulate NVARCHAR data in the CLIENT_LOCALE of the client application.

The client application performs code-set conversion of NVARCHAR data automatically if CLIENT_LOCALE differs from DB_LOCALE. (For information about code-set conversion, see Perform code-set conversion.)
