Property Value

string

Remarks

The session character set determines how character data is encoded and decoded during database communication. The default value of "UTF8" supports Unicode characters globally, which is suitable for most applications.

Common Character Sets:

  • UTF8 - Unicode, supports all international characters (recommended)
  • ASCII - 7-bit ASCII only, limited to English
  • UTF16 - 16-bit Unicode, higher memory overhead

Changing this value affects how character columns are interpreted. All existing character data must be compatible with the new character set.
