Creating the DB2 UDB Database

If you are installing a Unicode database, you must enter UTF-8 as the codeset and retain the hyphen. UTF-8 is the parameter used for Unicode implementation on DB2, although the actual processing will use UCS-2. When you specify UTF-8 as the encoding for the VARCHAR type, the encoding for the VARGRAPHIC type is automatically set to UCS-2, even though the UCS-2 is not specified as the parameter.

Verify that your data is exported and imported correctly.

To create the DB2 database

1. Locate the primary (base) language your database will use, the territory for your language, and the applicable codeset. See System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Siebel SupportWeb for the values that apply to your language.
2. Using the DB2 UDB Command Line Processor, enter the following command:

   db2 create database dbname using codeset territory collate using identity

   where:

   dbname = The alias for your database

   codeset = The textual representation of your code page

   territory = The territory for the language your database runs in under that codeset
