2.9 Internationalization

The DBTools.h++ internationalization features are available only with an Oracle8 server and client installation.

2.9.1 Character Sets

The DBTools.h++ Access Library for Oracle provides limited support for national character sets. Instances of the classes RWDBMBString and RWWString may be used as input and output datatypes, but their use is restricted as follows:

2.9.2 Data Formats

Date expressions are loaded into the database and extracted from the database in a locale neutral manner. DBTools.h++ properly formats instances of RWDBDateTime and RWDate automatically. The application programmer is responsible for formatting these types outside the scope of DBTools.h++ API calls.

RWDecimalPortable instances are fully supported.
