Teradata SQL Assistant - Does not display intl characters
Posted: Mon Apr 30, 2012 8:28 am
Hello,
I have loaded a file with international characters from around the world in UTF-8 format using DataStage 8.0 parallel job into a Teradata Unicode table. When I export the table from BTEQ and open the file in Excel(Using UTF-8), I am able to display all the international characters.
If I run a query from my the Teradata Client tool SQL Assitant, then all the international characters appear garbled up. If I export it from the SQL assitant tool into a UTF-8 delimited file and open it up in excel, it still appears messed up. It says everywhere that SQL assitant and odbc drivers are all UTF-8 compliant.
Any direction to resolve this will be great. It works if I export from command line, but the characters get messed up if I use the client tool.
