Most probably it needs a "flag" to indicate that the ODBC must work in Unicode, and then dynamic link to *W functions if this flag is set. I think ODBC drivers since 2002+/- should have this set of APIs, but I had never used ODBC in my life... :) L> But also in this case we will get UTF-16 widestrings (in Windows) not L> UTF-8, does not ? That's not important, you get unicode in the specified by the API format, then SQLConnector fills information in the expected target format (WideString, UTF8String over AnsiString, Raw bytes...). -- Best regards, José _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
