Help on sybase charsets

[Sankasu]

Hi All,

Can anyone help me with the path for downloading Swedish Charsets for
Sybase and if possible the steps to install the same.I need to do it
via Solaris.

Hi

According to documentation, Swedish is supposed to be covered by iso_1
and cp850 character sets, so you don't need to download and install
anything, these charsets are installed by default. I worked with a
Swedish dataserver a couple of years ago and, as far as I remember,
nothing special had to be done with charset configuration, iso_1 was
sufficient.

Note that you may need to configure your client's locale to Swedish in
order to display Swedish characters properly.

Hope it helps

Thanks Leonid for the valuable info.Could you please also help me with
the settings that needs to be done.I understand that in the config
file there needs to be some update for the parameter LC_All.My
question is where do i find this cfg file wherein the update needs to
be done.

Hello,

I'm not sure which configuration file you are referring to. Normally,
LC_ALL is
set at the operating system level. In the below example, I use Linux:

[nstack@redsun4 ~]$ locale -a | egrep "swedish|sv_"
sv_FI
sv_FI@euro
sv_FI.iso88591
sv_FI.iso885915@euro
sv_FI.utf8
sv_SE
sv_SE.iso88591
sv_SE.iso885915
sv_SE.utf8
swedish
[nstack@redsun4 ~]$ setenv LC_ALL sv_SE.iso88591
[nstack@redsun4 ~]$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="sv_SE.iso88591"
LC_NUMERIC="sv_SE.iso88591"
LC_TIME="sv_SE.iso88591"
LC_COLLATE="sv_SE.iso88591"
LC_MONETARY="sv_SE.iso88591"
LC_MESSAGES="sv_SE.iso88591"
LC_PAPER="sv_SE.iso88591"
LC_NAME="sv_SE.iso88591"
LC_ADDRESS="sv_SE.iso88591"
LC_TELEPHONE="sv_SE.iso88591"
LC_MEASUREMENT="sv_SE.iso88591"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="sv_SE.iso88591"
LC_ALL=sv_SE.iso88591
