StarSQL supports converting character data between a wide range of CCSID-to-CCSID pairs and CCSID-to-code-page pairs. It supports Group 1, Group 1A, Group 2, and Unicode character sets as defined by CDRA (IBM Character Definition Representation Architecture).
Group 1 covers the Roman Alphabet Number 1, which includes Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, North and South America, and Western Europe.
Group 1A covers multilingual scripts Cyrillic, Hebrew, Greek, and Turkish. The Latin 2 character set associated with Central Europe is supported in this group.
Group 2 covers double-byte coding for Japan, Korea, the People’s Republic of China, the Republic of China, and Thailand.
For the complete list of supported CCSIDs, refer to the "StarSQL Character Conversion and National Language Support" document in the StarSQL technical documents of the StarQuest Web site.
