Having the connection character set UTF8 is IMHO a separate concern from driver/protocol-related communication. The benefits of using UTF8 for driver/protocol communications doesn't always work well with the limitations that UTF8 enforces on the size of (VAR)CHAR columns. If we ever design a new protocol, things like this need to be taken into account. Mark Firebird-Devel mailing list, web interface at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-devel

> If one wants everyting to be utf8 why not have appropriate attachment? I agree. Especially in .NET. But people sometimes do crazy combinations. I wish I could drop all charsets and simply use UTF8 only. That would cleanup nice chunks of code. Maybe in couple of years. -- Mgr.

I somewhat thought the DPB contains database name as well. Silly me. -- Mgr.

[Firebird-devel] isc_dpb_lc_ctype and isc_dpb_set_db_charset and isc_dpb_utf8_filename
Hi *, Can somebody explain me how isc_dpb_lc_ctype and isc_dpb_set_db_charset and isc_dpb_utf8_filename relate to each other. In .NET provider these are used somewhat chaotically and I'd like to fix that. -- Mgr.
