So - this is clearly bogus. The D/B construction allows the 'system' charset -
which in my case (and in ~all Unix cases) is UTF-8 to be used.
On the other hand, it doesn't allow that to be selected:
dbaccess/source/ui/dlg/detailpages.cxx:
// the only types we're interested in is TEXT and DBASE
if ( ( DST_DBASE == eDSType ) || ( DST_FLAT == eDSType ) )
{
// for these types, we need to exclude all encodings which do not have
a fixed
character
// length (such as UTF-8)
rtl_TextEncodingInfo aEncodingInfo; aEncodingInfo.StructSize = sizeof(
rtl_TextEncodingInfo );
Clearly we should be doing 'whole-character' truncation for UTF-8 so we don't
end up with an invalid string - but honestly; how difficult is that ? it's not a
common case, so we can fix it with a really dim solution for UTF-8 - surely ?
Indeed - the dbase code looks (in general) ok - except for some instances like:
connectivity/source/driver/dbase/DTable.cxx
// convert the string, using the connection's encoding
::rtl::OString sEncoded;
DBTypeConversion::convertUnicodeString( sStringToWrite,
sEncoded, getConnection()->getTextEncoding() );
memcpy( pData, sEncoded.getStr(), ::std::min( nLen,
sEncoded.getLength() ) );
I guess this just needs fixing up with a:
while (convertUString(aStringToWrite, ...) > nLen)
chop-one-char-off-aStringToWrite
and have done with it (?). Frank I'm sure your thoughts here would be much
appreciated - it seems having mixed Asian/Latin bibliographies is currently not
possible (eg.)
