Characteristics Of SQL-92 Clients

Progress SQL-92 clients have:

Internal Code Page

For Java/JDBC clients, the internal code page is Unicode, which is converted to UTF–8, an encoding of Unicode, to communicate with the JDBC driver. For more information on Unicode and UTF–8, see Using Unicode."

For ESQL-92 and ODBC clients, the internal code page is the value of the client’s SQL_CLIENT_CHARSET environment variable, if set. Else, the internal code page is that of the client’s locale. For more information on the SQL_CLIENT_CHARSET environment variable, see the Progress Installation and Configuration Guide Version 9 for UNIX or the Progress Installation and Configuration Guide Version 9 for Windows .

Code Page For Displaying PROMSGS Sent By the Server To the Client

When PROMSGS messages sent by the database server arrive at the client, the client accesses them using a particular code page. This code page is the one named by the client’s SQL_CLIENT_CHARSET_PROMSGS environment variable, if set. Else, this code page is the one named by the client’s SQL_CLIENT_CHARSET environment variable, if set. Else, this code page is that of the client’s locale.
