Database locale

The locale group specifies the territory and code set for data entered in this database. The territory and code set are used for string comparisons (default collating sequence) and character conversions.

These values are stored in the Database Configuration file. You can read these values on the Environment page of the Configure -- Database window.

Once you have created the database, you cannot go back and change these values. You would have to create another database.
