Note: If you wish to add a database to a Server engine, you must have administrative rights on the server operating system. If you do not have administrative rights, you will not be permitted to add the database.

Note: The database engine does not validate the encoding of the data and metadata that an application inserts into a database. The engine assumes that all text data was translated by the client to the encoding of the server or the client database code page, as explained in Database Code Page and Client Encoding in Advanced Operations Guide.

Note: Changing the database code page does not convert existing data or metadata in the database. To avoid data corruption, ensure that the code page setting matches the current encoding of any preexisting data or metadata in the database.

Note: PCC Connection Encoding applies only to PCC. It has no affect on other client applications.
