In the multibyte enabled environment, that kind of command would not
be necessary except UNICODE and MULE_INTERNAL, since they are
multi-lingual encoding. For them, we might need something like:

SET LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE TO 'Japanese';

For the long term solutuon, this kind of problem should be solved in
the implemetaion of SQL-92/99 i18n features.
