International Languages and Character Sets
This section provides an introduction to the issues you may face when working in an environment that uses more than one character set, or when using languages other than English.
When you create a database, you specify a collating sequence, or collation, for the database to use. A collation is a combination of a character set and a sort order for characters in the database.
