A Spanish-version server

This examples shows how to set up a new server with all clients using the same language. To do this:

  1. Select the server language, in this case, Spanish. By reviewing Table 10-1, you see that Spanish is part of language group 1. Based on your platform, select a character set from language group 1. Sybase recommends that you select the character set used by the greatest number of clients. Or, if you think your company might someday expand into other countries and languages, you might consider installing Unicode (see “Selecting the character set for your server”).

  2. Install the Spanish Language Module in the server. This allows clients to view system messages in Spanish.

  3. Select the default sort order. By referring to Table 10-5, you see that Spanish has three possible sort orders, in addition to binary sort order. Select a sort order.

  4. Restart the server.
