In the process of writing http://www.easysoft.com/developer/languages/perl/sql-server-unicode.html and https://github.com/mjegh/dbd_odbc_sql_server_unicode I discovered a serious bug in the way DBD::ODBC can attempt to insert unicode characters into char/varchar/longvarchar columns.

The issue ONLY applied to unicode builds of DBD::ODBC (the default on Windows) and enabled in Linux/Unix via the -u switch to Makefile.PL. The DBD::mysql driver supported Unicode/UTF-8 for some times now by turning ON the driver's 'mysql_enable_utf8' attribute. MySQL also supports UTF-8 text encoding by default. Do the last changes affect any of this behavior? (I am sorry that I cannot test your release. I am using ActivePerl, and ActiveState, as a rule, does not compile and release experimental releases of packages. I am afraid I'll have to wait until you release a stable one.) Meir Meir, I think you've got slightly mixed up. This is DBD::ODBC, not DBD::mysql. Martin
