Discussion Benjamin De Boe · Nov 9, 2020 Accent sensitivity and other internationalization issues Hi, InterSystems IRIS has long supported the obvious translation functions required to for converting to upper or lowercase to enforce case-insensitive string comparison (e.g. in ObjectScript with $zconvert) and sorting (e.g. with SQL collation functions, not to be confused with NLS collation). Customers in international contexts have at times used custom workarounds to also treat accent insensitivity or even more advanced normalization duct tape. We’re looking to address such use cases at the system and SQL level to increase convenience for this international audience, which is well represented on the Developer Community. #ObjectScript #SQL #InterSystems IRIS 1 5 0 190

Discussion Benjamin De Boe · Jan 9, 2020 Hi there, any Query Plans tonight? Hi, we're planning some work on our SQL Query Plan functionality for a future release of InterSystems IRIS and are interested to hear how you're using them today, or what'd keep you from using them. Rather than try and fit everything in a rigid survey, I thought a simple thread on our beloved DC might also reveal some use patterns that we support or could do a better job on. #Performance #SQL #InterSystems IRIS 3 7 0 233
