RE: Problem with DB and Char size (2)

Subject: R: Problem with DB and Char size (2) This is exactly what happens: (btw, the same thing happens in Python, so the trouble must be in the Oracle odbc driver. But this is also what happens today to any Haskell business application which connects to Oracle, as - to my knowledge

Oops... I hit the wrong key, sending a partial post. Sorry :) Again: I have a problem with strings and unicode chars, when writing slq statements on Oracle ODBC driver through HSQL. I'm writing here because I suspect that a fix could come from writing 8 bit strings, if it is possible somehow.

Problem with DB and Char size

I have a problem with strings and unicode chars, when writing slq statements on Oracle ODBC driver through HSQL. I'm writing here because I suspect that a fix could come from writing 8 bit strings, if it is possible somehow. I'm sorry, the problem is very deep into it's context, and I know it's

Re: Problem with DB and Char size (2)

HSQL uses withCString internally. withCString strips the higher order bytes from Char. On Thu, 27 Jan 2005 15:11:38 +0100, Santoemma Enrico [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Oops... I hit the wrong key, sending a partial post. Sorry :) Again: I have a problem with strings and unicode chars, when

Re: Problem with DB and Char size (2)

As I haven't found how to force the driver not to strip the byte, and also I don't like to convert data two times, I'd try to send 8 bit strings, but don't know how. Is Word8 a solution? If it is, what is the contstructor?, as w = W8# 1 doesn't compile. I'm weak on low level Haskell. Where do

Santoemma Enrico [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The problem is: Oracle ODBC driver expects, at least under Windows, UCS-2 strings. Then, if the DB is set to UTF-8, it converts the string into UTF-8. I'm using HSQL to access ODBC. Isn't UCS-2 the old 16-bit Unicode representation? So that
