The Express Server language support has been replaced by Oracle Globalization Technology, which provides more extensive localization support and is much easier to administer than the localization features of Express Server. The RDBMS and Oracle OLAP typically use the same character set, which is selected during installation.
If you are upgrading Express databases that used translation tables, then you can delete those tables because they are not needed by Oracle OLAP. Likewise, you should check your Express programs for use of obsolete commands and keywords that supported translation tables. If you plan to import Express databases or to use Oracle OLAP to access multibyte data in external files, then you might find Table A-1, " Multibyte Character Set Equivalents" helpful in identifying a character set. Note that the CHARSET
option is now obsolete.
Support for Globalization Technology has been added to the OLAP DML. These options allow an application to query the current localization settings and override the behaviors controlled by the default language and territory.
Table A-1 identifies the Unicode character sets available in Oracle that are equivalent to the Express Server character sets.:
