error when using umlauts(ÄÖ) in the user name

slaxman · Post by **slaxman** » Thu 17 Nov 2011 23:34

When I use a umlauts(ÄÖ) in a username, devart in direct mode fails to connect. The user was created in a 'german' setup. Setting 'Unicode=true' in the conn. string is not helping. Is this supported in Direct mode? I am guessing it'd work in OCI mode.

thanks

We have implemented the possibility of connecting as a user with a Unicode name in the Direct mode. This change is available in the latest 6.70.311 build of dotConnect for Oracle. The new build can be downloaded from
http://www.devart.com/dotconnect/oracle/download.html
(the trial version) or from Registered Users' Area (for users with active subscription only).
