SAP Sybase IQ can perform character set translation among character sets that represent the same characters, but are located at different positions in the character set or code page.
A degree of compatibility between the character sets is required for this translation. For example, character set translation is possible between EUC-JIS and cp932 character sets, but not between EUC-JIS and cp1252.
These topics describe how SAP Sybase IQ carries out character set translation. This information is for users who may be deploying applications or databases in a multicharacter set environment.
