Hi Gurus,

We are migrating our PowerBuilder Apps from Sybase ASE to SQL Server and we noticed that in Sybase, we have CharSet="iso_1" explicitly set as a DBParam.

Our new SQL Server is now has character encoding to "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS" which is slightly different to Sybase "iso_1" 

As per CharSet function help documents, it talk about applicable to Sybase products only 

https://docs.appeon.com/pb2019/connection_reference/ch01s01.html#CharSet

Applies to

ASE, SYC SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise

DIR SAP DirectConnect

I just wanted to check if this parameter is applicable for SQL Server or can be ignored.

Thanks

Ramendra

Thank you Chris for your prompt response.



Is there any equivalent for SQL Server or how PowerBuilder can explicitly supply character encoding for SQL Server.

SS 2019 & higher by default uses UTF-8 for all Char & VarChar columns and UTF-16 for all NChar & NVarChar column data. So unlike Unix based DBMS like ASE, character encoding is much more straightforward.
