GLS fundamentalsThe Global Language Support (GLS) feature lets HCL® OneDB® products handle different languages, cultural conventions, and code sets for Asian, African, European, Latin American, and Middle Eastern countries.
The GLS featureIn a database application, some of the tasks that the database server and the client application perform depend on the language and culture conventions of the data that they handle.

HCL OneDB client applications and utilities

In general, a client application is a program that runs on a workstation or a PC on a network.

To the GLS feature, a client application can be either the HCL OneDB™ SQL API product (such as ) or the HCL OneDB database server utility (such as DB-Access, dbexport, or onmode). These HCL® OneDB client applications support GLS:

The DB-Access utility, which is provided with HCL OneDB database servers, allows user-specifiable database objects such as tables, columns, views, statements, cursors, and SPL routines to include non-ASCII characters and to be sorted according to localized collation rules. For more information about identifiers, see Non-ASCII characters in identifiers. For general information about DB-Access, see the HCL OneDB DB-Access User's Guide.
The SQL APIs allow host and indicator variable names and names of user-specifiable database objects such as tables, columns, views, statements, cursors, and SPL routines to include non-ASCII characters. For more information, see General SQL API features (ESQL/C).
Database server utilities such as dbexport or onmode allow many command-line arguments to include non-ASCII characters. For more information, see Database server features.
