Sure, but defaulting should not happen in fbclient.dll, but in the FB access library, IBPP for C++, UIB or whatever components are currently used in Delphi. AFAIK, Delphi is Unicode now, so they can default to Unicede as well. IBPP would default to some regional charset depending on the environment. > I think the problem should be fully solved (*) or let the people still > manage things. The only change is that newly created databases are created with some meaningful charset, not with "raw data". The rest remains as it is now - those that want to manage it already, will be able to do this. I do not see why this is not a full solution.
