As part of the installation media, OpenEdge supplies empty databases that support the language and collation standards of many languages. The databases are in the OpenEdge/prolang subdirectories. Look for the subdirectory name that matches a particular language. For example, the empty database you might use to build a Russian application is OpenEdge/prolang/rus/empty.db.

These empty databases provide a database labeled with the appropriate code page and collation table for a language. However, if you are developing applications for a language or region that is not represented in OpenEdge/prolang, OpenEdge has a utility, PROUTIL, that you can use to set up a unique database. For more information on PROUTIL, see Manage the OpenEdge Database.
