Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Internationalizing Applications

> ## Using the SQL language

> When you use the SQL language in applications that you intend to localize to multiple locales, the following points might help you:

> - The unit of length when working with character strings.

> - The maximum number of bytes required by items of type `CHAR` and `VARCHAR`.

> - SQL elements that support internationalization and localization.

> - Format specifiers allowed with the `TO_CHAR()` and `TO_DATE()` functions.

> For a complete list of the international elements in OpenEdge SQL, see Appendix A "OpenEdge Resources." For a complete description of the OpenEdge SQL language, see OpenEdge Data Management: SQL Development .
