Hi Henrik, I have managed to get Unicode fetches to work with Ingres. See http://ingres.co.uk/files/perl/unicode/dbd-ingres-unicode-fetch.patch for the patch (generated using diff -u). It has been tested on Windows XP as well as a 64 bit Linux system. If you feel it should be tested on another platform let me know. My test case (http://ingres.co.uk/files/perl/unicode/unicode-ingres.txt) uses the demodb database that is shipping with Ingres 2006 R2. Should you or anyone want to get a copy of this data and the schema please email me. Regards grant
