Function
Set this property to a supported locale name when using one of the
Derby tools,
if you want another locale than the system default locale.
The locale determines the localized display format for numbers,
dates, times and timestamps, as well as the language of the
messages from the
Derby tools.
Note that some pages in the
Derby
documentation guides refer to a "locale" as a "territory".
Syntax
derby.ui.locale=derbyval
where derbyval is
a supported locale name, in the form ll_CC, where ll
is the two-letter language code, and CC is the two-letter
country code; for example, ja_JP.
Example
The following command specifies to run ij using
the Japanese territory (derby.ui.locale=ja_JP) using Japanese Latin
Kanji mixed encoding (codeset=Cp939):
java -Dderby.ui.locale=ja_JP -Dderby.ui.codeset=Cp939
-Dij.protocol=jdbc:derby:
