Sybase DC35823-01-1500-04 Adaptive Server localization, Changing the localization configuration

Changing the localization configuration

During the installation process and through reconfiguration, you can specify a different language, character set, and sort order.

Adaptive Server localization

Each language uses about 2MB of database space per module. If necessary, use the alter database command to increase the size of the master database before adding another language.

Note If you want to install more than one language on Adaptive Server, and the master database is not large enough to manage more than one language, the transaction log may become too full. You can expand the master database only on the master device. For more information, see the System Administration Guide.
