About Database Code Pages and Locale Support

This topic is part of Planning RDBMS Installation and Configuration.

In a Unicode database environment, you can install any of the available Siebel languages.

In a database environment that is not enabled for Unicode, however, you must consider the correlation of the languages that you want to install and the characters supported by your database code page. For example, in a Western European code page database, you can only install Western European languages, such as U.S. English, French, Spanish, or German languages. In a Japanese code page database, you can only install Japanese or U.S. English languages. The installed languages and the code page of the operating system on which your Siebel Server runs must match those of your Siebel database instance.
