That's not exactly correct. Firebird is using OS support to convert from OS default encoding to UTF-8. One can use utf8 strings, but to do it special ag should be added to DPB/SPB. I'm not sure how do windows functions MultiByteToWideChar & WideCharToMultiByte treat CP_ACP, particularly can it result in different encoding for different apps on same box. If yes - firebird API is ready to provide both Delphi and FreePascal support, we should care just about correctly declaring string types in include file for pascal. Bytes in them will be internally converted to needed form. BTW, environment variables are expected to be in same encoding too. > provide both Delphi and FreePascal support in example code will > need to take care to use specific types, like UTF8String rather > than just String.
