Are there any best practices for Internationalization (multi language
environments) to make life easier?
For example if your application is used across the Globe and code base is
same isn't it better to keep data in Unicode CCSID 1208 or 1200 in
Database/Fields and IFS files. instead of keeping database in different
CCSID for each country language?
1208
DB2 uses CCSID 1208 for Unicode UTF-8 data, which DB2 always considers to
be mixed data. This CCSID is the default CCSID value for Unicode tables.
Therefore, DB2 uses CCSID 1208 for CHAR, VARCHAR, and CLOB columns that are
defined with FOR MIXED DATA in Unicode tables. FOR MIXED DATA is the
default subtype specification.
1200DB2 uses CCSID 1200 for Unicode UTF-16 data, which is double-byte data
(DBCS). This CCSID applies to GRAPHIC and VARGRAPHIC Unicode data.
Therefore, DB2 uses CCSID 1200 for GRAPHIC, VARGRAPHIC, and DBCLOB columns
in Unicode tables.
