¹ Referred to as "character set" for MS SQL Server and Oracle databases, as "code set" for IBM UDB and as "CCSID" for IBM DB2 on z/OS and OS/390.

2 Service Pack 3 or 3a is a prerequisite for Siebel 7 Database Servers running on SQL Server 2000. Microsoft makes SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3/3a available at http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/2000/sp3.asp. It is strongly recommended that you apply performance fixes referenced in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 815056 (located at http://support.microsoft.com/?id=815056) and Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 815593 (located at http://support.microsoft.com/?id=815593).

³ If you are installing an IBM UDB database using Unicode, use UTF-8 as the code set and retain the hyphen. You must enter UTF-8, although the codeset support is for UCS-2, because when you specify UTF-8 for the VARCHAR field, the VARGRAPHIC field is set to UCS-2 automatically. Therefore, UCS-2 is not specified in this parameter.

⁴ Contact IBM for information about how to obtain FixPaks.

⁵ DB2 UDB v8.2 ESE is supported when deployed as a single partition instance (one node). Partitioned instances (with more than 1 node) are not supported.

⁶ While both 32-bit and 64-bit DB2 v8.1 are supported for database servers, only the 32-bit database client is supported on the Siebel Server.

⁷ Note that using Dictionary sort orders with Oracle may result in performance degradation.

8 Support for Oracle 11g R2 is available as of version 7.8.2.14.
