Additional Character Sets and Collations
Go Up to Character Sets for DOS
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;
