Specifies the character set used for object names such as cursor names and table names. If you do not specify a character set in this clause or in the NAMES ARE clause, the default is DEC_MCS. This clause overrides the character set specified in the NAMES ARE clause. The specified character set must contain ASCII. NOTE If the dialect or character sets are not specified in the module header, SQL uses the RDB$CHARACTER_SET logical name to determine the character sets to be used by the database. See the Oracle Rdb SQL Reference Manual for more detail regarding the RDB$CHARACTER_SET logical name. The RDB$CHARACTER_SET logical name is deprecated and will not be supported in a future release.
