could not reformat the collating sequence Explanation: Oracle Rdb translates an NCS collating sequence into an internal format for use in building indices, comparisons, and matching. The translation could not be performed. User Action: Contact your Oracle support representative for assistance. You will need to provide the files BUG.MAR and BUG.NCS obtained from the command: NCS/MAC=BUG/OUT=BUG/EXT=<collating_name> <library> where <collating_name> is the name of the collating sequence that you selected from the library indicated by <library> or from NCS.NLB if you did not specify a library.
