NonStop SQL/MP Reference Manual

NonStop SQL/MP Reference Manual—142115
C-32
The LC_CTYPE Section of a Collation Definition
diagram can appear only once in the section. Each type of line must begin on a new
physical line.
LC_CTYPE
starts an LC_CTYPE section.
charclass class-name [ ; class-name ] ...
specifies names for up to 100 user-defined character classes.
NonStop SQL/MP does not use character classes in any way, but does scan the
character class clause for correctness.
Each class-name can contain up to 30 letters or digits, but the first character
must be a letter. class-name must be unique within the collation definition and
cannot be any of the following words:
class-name [class-element [; class-element] ... ] ]
specifies the set of characters from the character set to include in the class class-
name. class-element is normally a char, as defined in the discussion of the
LC_COLLATE section.
A class-element between two char symbols in the list can also be an ellipsis,
signifying the series of characters between the characters represented by the char
symbols within the character set.
Specify a class-name clause for each class-name you list on the charclass
clause.
toupper ( lower, upper ) [ ; ( lower, upper ) ] ...
specifies a set of char pairs that defines the relationship between lowercase and
uppercase characters.
