Selecting a collating sequence

This dialog lets you choose a collation sequence.A collation sequence is a combination of a character set and a sort order for characters in the database. You can use the default collation sequence or choose one from the list of collation sequences that Sybase IQ supports.

After you specify the collation sequence, click Next to review the settings you chose for your database.

Specify a collation sequence

Default collation sequence

The default collation sequence is ISO_BINENG. ISO_BINENG provides optimal performance for Sybase IQ databases, but not necessarily the most natural sort order. For more information about collation sequences, see the System Administration Guide: Volume 1.

Alternative collation sequence

If you want to use a different collation sequence, click Use the following supplied collation, then choose an item from the list.
