Hi,

The following SQL creates a column COL_C with data type "CHARACTER SET UNICODE". Is there a way to default to CHARACTER SET LATIN, without changing the Create syntax?

fyi, the reason I cannot change the syntax is because the sql is auto-generated by the CRM tool.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

     Create volatile table test1 as
     (
     SELECT  a_col COL_A,
             'TESTSTRING' COL_C,
             col3 COL_D
     FROM    tablename1
     ) with no data ;

-- creates the following.

     CREATE SET VOLATILE TABLE test1
          (
           COL_A CHAR(1) CHARACTER SET LATIN NOT CASESPECIFIC,
           COL_C VARCHAR(7) CHARACTER SET UNICODE NOT CASESPECIFIC,
           COL_D INTEGER)
     PRIMARY INDEX ( COL_A )
