sys.syscharsets (Transact-SQL)

Column name Data type Description
type smallint Type of entity this row represents:

1001 = Character set.

2001 = Sort order.
id tinyint Unique ID for the character set or sort order. Note sort orders and character sets cannot share the same ID number. The ID range of 1 through 240 is reserved for use by the [!INCLUDEssDE].
csid tinyint If the row represents a character set, this field is unused. If the row represents a sort order, this field is the ID of the character set that the sort order is built on. It is assumed a character set row with this ID exists in this table.
status smallint Internal system status information bits.

description nvarchar(255) Optional description of the features of the character set or sort order.
binarydefinition varbinary(6000) [!INCLUDEssInternalOnly]
