Support for additional character sets and collation orders is constantly being added to InterBase. To see if additional character sets and collations are available for a newly created database, connect to the database with isql, then use the following set of queries to generate a list of available character sets and collations:

SELECT RDB$CHARACTER_SET_NAME, RDB$CHARACTER_SET_ID
 FROM RDB$CHARACTER_SETS
 ORDER BY RDB$CHARACTER_SET_NAME;
SELECT RDB$COLLATION_NAME, RDB$CHARACTER_SET_ID
 FROM RDB$COLLATIONS
 ORDER BY RDB$COLLATION_NAME;
