character_sets

The view information_schema.character_sets identifies the character sets available in the database. MonetDB uses a hardcoded character set encoding (UTF-8) for all character data. It does not support alternative or multiple character sets, hence this view returns only one row.

SELECT * FROM information_schema.character_sets;
SELECT character_set_name FROM information_schema.character_sets;
