To support international character sets, DocuShare stores string data as 'Unicode.' The database to be used by DocuShare should be configured for 'Unicode (UTF8).' If necessary, contact your vendor for additional assistance or information.
- Oracle: A Database Administrator (DBA) must set the Database Character Set and National Character Set to UTF8 when creating the tablespace to be used by DocuShare. The Oracle setup will prompt the DBA through the process.
- PostgreSQL: Use the createdb command with the Unicode switch when creating the database to be used by DocuShare, for example, createdb -E UNICODE [DocuShare Database Name]. The Character Set is already included in the command string written in the solution description.
- MSDE / SQL Server: This database uses the UCS-2 Character Set for Unicode instead of the UTF8 Character Set. DocuShare will prefix string data with N, to designate National Language in the SQL-92 standard, to provide UTF8 compatibility with a Microsoft SQL Server.
