Firebird 3 DB CharSet UTF8 UseUnicode does' nt work

Post by freim » Tue 21 Sep 2021 05:42

Database: Firebird 3
Default CharSet UTF8
Default Collation UNICODE_CI

IBCConnection.Options.UseUnicode := True

Trying to insert and post a new record fails: 'unable to allocate memory from operating system'
Any idea?

Hi,

unfortunately the problem still happens with the IBDAC components.
You just need to connect to a Firebird 3.0 database with Default Charset UTF8 and set "useUnicode = true".
Executing "select cast ( 'error' as varchar(6144)) from rdb$database" there occurs an error.
Executing "select cast ( 'error' as varchar(6143)) from rdb$database" there occurs no error.
If UseUnicode is deactivated, the SQL can be executed, but then there are incorrectly displayed chars like "ä", "ü" or "ö".

Unfortunately, the problem is very urgent for us, please have a look at it asap!

Best regards
Robin
