  • DB2 UDB for Z/OS V8 and UNICODE: It’S No Tower of Babel by Jim Schesvold

    DB2 UDB for Z/OS V8 and UNICODE: It’S No Tower of Babel by Jim Schesvold

    DB2 UDB for z/OS V8 and UNICODE: It’s No Tower of Babel By Jim Schesvold INTRODUCTION DB2 UDB for z/OS Version 8 is the largest, most profound, highest impact version in the product’s history. Consider: There are more new lines of code in DB2 V8 than there were total lines of code in DB2 Version 1.1. Some individuals say migrating to DB2 V8 is a migration equivalent to DB2 V6 and V7 combined. The Quality Partnership Program—a beta program—lasted 14 months, the longest ever for DB2. There are more changes to the catalog than any other release or version of DB2. DB2 V8 requires 64-bit addressing. A DB2 V8 address space can be up to 16 exobytes, 8 billion times the storage available with V7 and prior. DB2 V8 entities have been increased by magnitudes. For example: Maximum table size has been increased from 16 terabytes to 128 terabytes. Table names can now be up to 128 bytes instead of 18 bytes. The number of partitions for a table has been increased from 254 to 4096. SQL statement length can now be up to 2 MB instead of 32KB. Archive logs have been increased to 10,000 from 1,000. And the list goes on and on. The installation methodology of DB2 has—optionally—been re-worked through the implemen- tation of msys for Setup as an installation technique. Yet for all these product changes and enhancements, one of the largest modifications in DB2 V8 is the implementation of Unicode. While earlier versions of DB2 had Unicode capability, DB2 V8 has extensively integrated character conversion into nearly every aspect of the product.
  • Implementing Cross-Locale CJKV Code Conversion

    Implementing Cross-Locale CJKV Code Conversion

    Implementing Cross-locale CJKV Code Conversion Ken Lunde, Adobe Systems Incorporated [email protected] http://www.oreilly.com/~lunde/ 1. Introduction Most operating systems today deal with single locales. Within a single CJKV locale, different operating sys- tems often use different encodings for the same character set. Consider Shift-JIS and EUC-JP encodings for Japanese—Shift-JIS is historically used on MacOS and Windows, but EUC-JP is used on Unix. This makes code conversion a necessity. Code conversion within a single locale is, by and large, a trivial operation that typically involves a mathematical algorithm. In the past, a lot of code conversion was performed by users through dedicated software tools. Many of today’s applications include built-in code conversion routines, but these routines deal with only multiple encodings of a single locale (such as EUC-KR, ISO-2022-KR, Johab, and Unified hangul Code encodings for Korean). Code conversion across CJKV locales, such as between Chinese and Japanese, is more problematic. While Unicode serves as an excellent basis for implementing cross-locale code conversion, there are still problems to be addressed, such as unmappable characters. 2. Code Conversion Basics Converting between different encodings of a single locale, which represents a trivial effort that involves well- established code conversion algorithms (or mapping tables), is a well-understood process these days. How- ever, as soon as code conversion extends beyond a single locale, there are additional complexities that arise, such as the following: • Code conversion algorithms almost always must be replaced by mapping tables because the ordering of characters in different CJKV character sets are different.
