Can Unicode system have Non Unicode Database

[Former Member]

i have installed Nw2004 Unicode .

But if i install NW2004 unicode the database is also unicode or not

Hi,

Unicode and non unicode depends on how many bytes are reserved at database

if itis 1byte it is non unicode supports only english and germany

2 bytes it is non-unicode

so the DB is created with an Unicode Characterset once you install sap as unicode system

Hi,

In oracle, if you perform an Unicode installation, the DB is created with an Unicode Characterset.

On other RDBMS I assume it is the same. It makes no sense to have a non unicode DB with an Unicode system. If you try to do so, probably you will get an error.
