Displaying Characters in ttIsql

The ability of ttIsql to display characters depends on the native operating system locale settings of the terminal on which you are using ttIsql.

The ttIsql utility supports the character sets listed in Supported Character Sets in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Reference.

To override the locale-based output format, use the ncharencoding option or the -N option. The valid values for these options are LOCALE (the default) and ASCII. If you choose ASCII and ttIsql encounters a Unicode character, it displays it in escaped format.

You do not need to have an active connection to change the output method.
