Disables underlying Unicode support.
- db2cli.ini keyword syntax:
- DisableUnicode = <not set> | 0 | 1
- Default setting:
- Unicode support is enabled.
- Usage notes:
With Unicode support enabled, and when called by a Unicode
application, CLI will attempt to connect to the database using the
best client code page possible to ensure there is no unnecessary data
loss due to code page conversion. This may increase the connection
time as code pages are exchanged, or may cause code page conversions
on the client that did not occur before this support was added.
If an application is Unicode (the SQL_ATTR_ANSI_APP connection
attribute is set to SQL_AA_FALSE, or the connection occurred with
SQLConnectW()), then the
DisableUnicode keyword can be used to effect three different connection behaviors:
- DisableUnicode is not set in the db2cli.ini file: If the target database supports Unicode, CLI will connect in Unicode code pages (1208 and 1200). Otherwise, CLI will connect in the application code page.
- DisableUnicode=0 is set: CLI always connects in Unicode, whether or not the target
database supports Unicode.
- DisableUnicode=1 is set: CLI always connects in the application code page, whether
or not the target database supports Unicode.
