PART 1. Working with Databases
This chapter describes how to ensure that Adaptive Server Anywhere treats your data according to the language in which you work.
A collation is an ordering for a particular character set. Choosing the proper collation ensures that the sorting and comparison operations produce the proper results for the language in which the data is stored.
This chapter describes the built-in collations provided with Adaptive Server Anywhere and describes how to construct custom collations. It also describes other aspects of the software that are of particular interest to users of languages other than English.
