How You Can Use International Characters
When inserting and retrieving international characters using OpenROAD, you may need to set the environment variable II_CHARSETxx on the client side, with the suffix xx being the value of the client's II_INSTALLATION variable. Possible configurations follow.
For an OpenROAD client against any Ingres server:
If the client's II_INSTALLATION is "II," you must add the value of II_CHARSETII to the symbol.tbl file. For example:
II_CHARSETII = iso88591
Then you must shut down and restart Ingres Networking.
For an OpenROAD client running against a local Windows Ingres server:
If the Windows server does not have its II_CHARSETxx defined, nothing needs to be done.
If the Windows server has its II_CHARSETxx defined, you first must set the II_CHARSETxx variable in the OpenROAD client's symbol.tbl file to the same value as the server. Then shut down and restart Ingres Networking.
