I don't think the sqlite3.exe command-line tool converts its input strings to utf8 before parsing them. I think its because non-Windows platforms have utf8 console sessions, and Windows consoles use the default Windows codepage.
So when you're inserting from the console, you're inserting codepage-specific text rather than utf8 text. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christophe Leske Sent: Friday, August 01, 2008 3:05 AM To: General Discussion of SQLite Database Subject: [sqlite] More on ICU extension (windows) Graeme schrieb: > I apparently successfully compiled the ICU extension with: > Has anyone sucessfully compiled the ICU extension for Windows (XP)? If so, i would be very interested in the steps, thank you. Also, isn´t it that the command line interpreter for windows (the one offered at the sqlite site) should have the ICU extension built-in? If so, then i must say that it apparently hasn´t, as i cannot do any SQL statements in it whatsoever. Any diacritic character like "ü" gets apparently garbled in the statements. I am doing something like this select * from cities where name like "münchen"; --> no result whereas if i do select * from cities where name like "m³nchen"; --> correct results Note the weird "upper 3" character in the request, which apparently represents the Umlaut "ü". Either the command line interpreter does not correctly handle diacritic characters, or my sqlite database was wrongly created (it was an automatic conversion from an Access MDB file thought).
