The files that support data processing in a particular language are called internationalization files. Several types of internationalization files come with Adaptive Server.
File |
Location |
Purpose and contents |
|---|---|---|
charset.loc |
In each character set subdirectory of the charsets directory |
Character set definition files that define the lexical properties of each character, such as alphanumeric, punctuation, operand, and uppercase or lowercase. Used by Adaptive Server to correctly process data. |
*.srt |
In each character set subdirectory of the charsets directory |
Defines the sort order for alphanumeric and special characters, including ligatures, diacritics, and other language-specific considerations. |
*.xlt |
In each character set subdirectory of the charsets directory |
Terminal-specific character translation files for use with utilities such as bcp and isql. For more information about how the.xlt files are used, see Chapter 11, “Configuring Client/Server Character Set Conversions,” and the Utility Guide. |
WARNING! Do not alter any of the internationalization files. If you need to install a new terminal definition or sort order, contact your local Sybase office or distributor.
