If your system has the proper message files installed, ALLBASE/SQL
displays prompts, messages and banners in the language you select;
and it displays system dates and time according to local customs.
In addition, ISQL accepts responses to its prompts in the native language
selected. However, regardless of the native language used, the syntax
of ISQL and SQL commands--including punctuation--remains in ASCII.
In order to use a native language other than the default,
you must follow the steps below:
Make sure
your I/O devices support the character set you wish to use.
Set the HP-UX environment variable LANG to the native
language (LanguageName) you wish to use. For the C shell, use the following
command:
For the K shell, use the following command (no spaces before
or after the equals sign):
typeset -x LANG=LanguageName |
For the Bourne shell, use the following commands:
LANG=LanguageName
export LANG |
This language then becomes the current language.
(If LANG is not set, the current language is n-computer.)
When you create a DBEnvironment, use the LANG=
LanguageName option of the START DBE NEW command to specify the
language.
You can use native language characters in the DBEnvironment
name. If you do so, you must set the LANG environment variable to
the same language before you can connect to the DBEnvironment. To
avoid confusion, you are advised to use the same language for the DBEnvironment
that you use in the LANG variable. Resetting the LANG variable while you
are connected to a DBEnvironment has no effect on the current DBE
session.
