OracleConnection.Unicode property
Posted: Fri 16 Jan 2009 18:54
What does this property do and when should I / should I not use it?
All strings in .NET are Unicode, what's a point to have this parameter then?
Are there any performance penalties/benefits for read/write data?
Could you please answer, when Unicode better be true:
a) Server character set is unicode UTF8 (NLS_CHARACTER=AL32UTF8)
b) Server character set is unicode UTF16 (NLS_CHARACTER=AL32UTF16)
c) Server character set is single byte encoding (f.e. NLS_CHARACTER= WE8MSWIN1252)
Thank you in advance,
Lex
