Description

This connector option enables multibyte character sets. See your database documentation for more information.

When the nls option is on (or enabled), DBMS wildcard literals are not supported. This option has no effect on Uniface wildcards.

MS SQL

When this option is enabled, fields defined with Char, Varchar, and Text storage formats are mapped to Nchar, Nvarchar, and Ntext respectively. Therefore, the number of bytes assigned to the remapped data type is halved, because a single NLS character requires two bytes, while a non-NLS character requires one byte.
