III. Unicode Universal Code Set (UCS) and Informix GLS

To store data from more than one non-English language in one database, you can either use the GLS implementation of the UTF-8 UCS GLS locale and code set conversion files, or use the Unicode UCS in your database. To use Unicode with Informix GLS, you must be using Informix Dynamic Server with Universal Data Option (IDS/UD) Version 9.1x or above, and the Informix Unicode DataBlade module. The Unicode DataBlade module enables users to store data in native Unicode format in a database and to access and manipulate that data. For more information, see the Informix Unicode DataBlade Module User's Guide.
