I'll check if the DBD-to-SQLite converter can export in Unicode. ___ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users

Show the output of this statement: select hex(name) from varmod_stent2010 limit 5; where 'name' is the name of the third column, the one with long text. You need to convert the text to UTF-8 before inserting it into SQLite. -- Igor Tandetnik ___ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users

[sqlite] Using Unicode to display data?
Hello After importing DBF files into SQLite, it looks like data are in Unicode, so I get funny characters when running sqlite3.exe in a DOS box on Windows: sqlite> select * from varmod_stent2010 limit 5; A10|BE|Industrie manufacturiFre, industries extractives et autres A10|FZ|Construction A10|GI|Commerce de gros et de dTtail, transports, hTbergement et restauration A10|JZ|Information et communication A10|KZ|ActivitTs financiFres et d'assurance I typed ".help", but it doesn't seem to include a way to change the character set. Is there a solution within sqlite3.exe, or is the only way to write a quick PHP script? Thank you. ___ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
