Обсуждение: Problem with Chinese characters
Hi: I am using psqlodbc-08-00-0102 ODBC driver on my Windows 2000 machine and want to insert data (with chinese characters) to the postgresql 8.0.3 running on RH9. My database is encoded as UNICODE, and my sql statement is already converted to UTF-8 before calling SQLExecute(). But I found that the coding of the chinese characters is not UTF-8 in the postgresql database. Also if I insert the record with 10 chinese characters, the length of the field should be 10, but now it is 30. It was previously work when I use the psqlodbc-07-02-01 driver with postgresql 7.3. Thanks a lot! __________________________________ Yahoo! FareChase: Search multiple travel sites in one click. http://farechase.yahoo.com

Please try the latest snapshot - 08.01.0005. It has various fixes and can be compiled in Unicode or ANSI/Multibyte mode as the older 07.xx drivers could (08.00.xxxx was Unicode only). Regards, Dave

It least I could not compile it, because the resource file is in Japanese. Or am I missing something? Rainer

The resource file is in English and Japanese. If you cannot compile, why not use the binaries though? Regards, Dave

If you cannot compile, why >not use the binaries though? Mmmh. You are right. I tried to compile them on my Win9x machine and that's why it failed. After removing the Japanese resources, it works. I am already using the 8.1.005 binaries. However I wanted to run the driver in debug mode to be able to give a better feedback (stack trace) if the driver should crash. BTW, using UseServerSidePrepare is not working. Is this the declare/fetch issue you are currently tracking? If you need help in testing the driver, I could check it against my application. Rainer

I just committed what I hope will be the last fix for this (for now at least!). Please try a build from the current CVS code and let me know how you get on. Thanks, Dave.
Hello: I would like to use ANSI ODBC driver as my sql statement is already converted to UTF-8 before calling SQLExecute(). However, i found from the log file that the client encoding is BIG5 which is my system's locale, so the text is wrong when it is inserted to my UNICODE database. Can I set the client encoding to UTF8 in my DNS or through any ODBC functions??

In the connect settings box in the config, you can add something like: SET client_encoding TO 'UTF8'; Regards, Dave.
