Querying WIN1251 columns, characters like é ë replaced by ?
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: DNET-900
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/DNET-900
Project: .NET Data provider
Issue Type: Bug
Components: ADO.NET Provider
Affects Versions: 7.1.1.0
Environment: Win10, x64/x86, .NET 4.7.2, Firebird 2.5
Reporter: Erik Groenakkers
Assignee: Jiri Cincura
I am working with a legacy database which uses WIN1251 text columns (don't ask
me why). I am now trying to read data through the FirebirdClient 7.1.1.0 (and
earlier versions) but characters like é and ë are replaced by question marks. I
have tried connection character set NONE, UTF8 and even WIN1251 but to the same
effect.
I tested this with WIN1252 columns, and that works fine with connection
character set NONE, WIN1252 or UTF8. Is WIN1251 not supported?
Sample code (sensitive info removed):
using (FbConnection connection = new FbConnection(@"character set=UTF8;data
source=localhost;initial catalog=<db path>;user id=<user>;password=<pass>")) {
connection.Open();
using (var command = new FbCommand(@"select id, name from
client", connection))
{
using (var reader = command.ExecuteReader())
{
while (reader.Read())
{
Console.WriteLine($"ID {(int)reader["ID"]}, NAME
{(string)reader["NAME"]}");
}
}
}
}
