Code Page Translation for ODBC-Based Products

ODBC drivers incorporate code page translation within their normal data processing.

The ECDA Option for ODBC uses this functionality to simplify code page translation.

For ODBC-based products, code page translation can take place between the DirectConnect server and the target database or between the client and the DirectConnect server.

• DirectConnect Server and the Target Database
  The ODBC driver uses the server-platform-configured code page value as its client code page.
• Client and the DirectConnect Server
  For proper code page translation, the ECDA code page identified by Open Server must match the server-platform-configured code page value.
