Miguel,
The all-in-one solution that you show below would be perfect but really
hard to implement :).
I think it would be enough to internally support just one UNICODE
encoding such as UCS4 which supports all UNICODE, is fixed-length, and
can be easily converted to/from other encodings. Also it seems to be the
best to store in the extended-format DBF files.
Ok, as I see there are no short-term plans to implement UNICODE in
xHarbour. That is what I wanted to know. We will need to solve the
problem in another way
The xHarbour's codepages seem to be flexible enough to implement custom
8-bit codepage containing English, Polish, Russian and Ukrainian
characters. The Oracle UNICODE strings will be converted to/from this
codepage by RDD. While not-perfect and limited to just a few languages
this solution may work for some time. GT will need to be adapted to
translate the custom codepage to UNICODE and comunicate with console via
UNICODE.
Best regards,
Jacek
