The SQL Anywhere Collation Algorithm (SACA) provides reasonable comparison, ordering, and case conversion of single-byte and multibyte character sets. The algorithm is space efficient and fast. The mapped form of a string, such as an index, is the same length as the original string. The mappings for comparison, ordering, and case conversion use a simple table lookup of each byte value of the string.
The SACA has been provided with SQL Anywhere since its early days as Watcom SQL.
