LCID

Description

Specifies the locale identifier that you want the OLE DB data provider to use.

When to specify LCID

You must specify the LCID parameter before connecting to the database.

Applies to

OLE DB

Syntax

LCID='lcid_name'

Default value

None

Usage

You specify the locale identifier at initialization. This provides a way for the data server to determine PowerBuilder's preferred locale language and character set. However, setting this parameter does not guarantee that all text returned to PowerBuilder is translated according to the locale ID.

Examples

To set the locale to US English:

  • Database profile

    Type 1033 in the LCID box on the System page in the Database Profile Setup dialog box.

  • Application

    Type the following in code:

    SQLCA.DBParm="LCID='1033'"
