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 .
