Default Re: [Info-Ingres] unicode enabled database

Hi Roy et al,

> I wonder if that is known anywhere outside of config.dat?


I'm somewhat surprised to see that the only means of identifying the
unicode bits are:
1. To quiz the specific database with:
* select dbmsinfo(‘ucollation’)
* select dbmsinfo(‘unicode_normalization’)
2. Just run infodb on the specific database and mine the output.

I would have assumed that this detail would have made it as a column
or a bit mask of something like the dbservice column of the iidatabase
catalog in iidbdb.Failing to find it documented in there is why I was
trawling the opensource.

Although either of the above methods will satisfy my immediate
requirements, which is the Disaster Recovery Planning side of things, I
might keep playing in dmfjsp.c to see if there is something in there....

Hmm, does dbmsinfo trawl the databases config file?

Actually I'm really just after excuses to play in the OpenSource. Its the
best SandBox I've ever come across. Yes that is a CVS pun...
