SYMPTOMS
Index Server and Site Server might not recognize any DBCS or extended character in catalog names or in column/property names.



CAUSE


RESOLUTION
Index Server and Site Server recognize quoted strings as single IDs, even when they contain DBCS characters. If a catalog name or column name contains DBCS or extended characters it needs to be quoted.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
The first character must start with a-z|A-Z, while subsequent characters can be a-z|A-Z|0-9|. If this were to include any other characters, the string must be double quoted.
