(2nd send - I think I may have sent it to the old @sap.com instead of @listserv.sap.com in last post)
Recent threads about ODBC drivers have revealed that the driver shipping today with SQL Studio 7.4 supports Unicode on Win32. Why is this driver not the "main release"? currently 7.3.0.28 is being provided as the main download. I ask, as I am wanting to use the Unicode driver to prevent extra translation going on to work with dotNet ODBC.NET. Is the 7.3.1.x series driver being supported with the 7.3.0.x database engine? And again, if so, why is it not being pushed as the main driver and distributed so that SQL Studio doesn't have to be installed? I would rather not install SQL Studio on production servers. Thank you.

Eventually, an unicode ODBC driver will be available for SAP DB in the near future.
