Internationalization support

[qchen]

Hello,

Does the dbExpress driver support internationalization (unicode, UTF-8 etc)? do you have some Delphi sample code that shows how to retrieve UTF-8 encoded Text field data?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Unfortunately, dbExpress technology itself doesn't support Unicode.

We think, the next method can help (or something like this)

If you have a field like
data univarchar(100)
you can do something like
select convert(varbinary(200), data) as data from TestTable

Then, the following code will extract and convert the binary data

var
S: String;
W: WideString;
begin
...
S := SQLDataSet1.Fields[0].AsString;
W := WideCharToString(PWideChar(Pointer(S)));
...
end
