Re: [Firebird-net-provider] Character set problem between with Firebird .NET provider
I tried WIN1252 but it still does not work. I did the following steps: 1. Exported all metadata and data from the database 2. Created an empty database with WIN1252 char set 3. Imported all metadata and data 4. Set the charset on the /NET provider to WIN1252 I still get the transliteration error when accessing certain data -Original Message- From: André Knappstein, Controlling [mailto:knappst...@beta-eigenheim.de] Sent: 07 January 2010 04:21 PM To: Louis van Alphen Subject: Re: [Firebird-net-provider] Character set problem between with Firebird .NET provider I would second what Jiri wrote.

Hi, At January-08-10, 3:56 AM, André Knappstein, Controlling wrote: I don't know. If I remember correctly I have read that unicode takes an extra byte per character and I did not want to hit any technical limit (max. lenghth of index key and such...) UTF-8 can take between 1 and 4 bytes per character. The length of the index key in FB 1.5 and up is a quarter of the page size(i.e.: for a page size of 16KB, the maximum index key size will be 4KB). And I dimly remember that there were such limits for FB 1.5, which have been extended along with 2.x. Here you are correct, with regards to index key size. The only limitation that existed in FB 1.5, that was basically removed from FB 2.0+, was the table size limit, which under FB 1.5 was 40GB/table and is now(in FB 2.0+) a few TB/table. -- Best regards, Daniel Rail Senior Software Developer ACCRA Solutions Inc.

And I dimly remember that there were such limits for FB 1.5, which have been extended along with 2.x. Our databases are still on FB 1.5 due to technical limitations of the old programming tools. Only recently I converted another big part over to C#/.net and will hopefully be done completely this summer. ciao, André -- ~~~Ihre Nachricht~~~ JC On Thu, Jan 7, 2010 at 16:54, André Knappstein, Controlling JC knappst...@beta-eigenheim.de wrote: We changed everything to Win1252 instead, which supports spanish and french characters as well as German Umlauts and ß JC Why not unicode? -- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev ___ Firebird-net-provider mailing list Firebird-net-provider@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-net-provider
