Setting a Locale

You can use the default locale on your operating system, or explicitly set a locale for use by the Sybase IQ components on your machine.

1. Show the IQ engine character set:

   select * from sa_eng_properties() where propname like '%CharSet%'

2. Set either or both of the IQLANG and IQCHARSET environment variables:

   IQCHARSET=charset;IQLANG=language_code

   where charset is a valid character set label and language_code is a language code from the list of language label values.

• List of Language Label Values
  Valid language label values and their equivalent ISO 639 language codes. Set the two-letter ISO_639 language code in the IQ_LANG environment variable.
