I trying to use unicode string in query, but when I opened query I saw only question marks.

In database I'm using next parameters:

NLS_CHARACTERSET CL8MSWIN1251
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16

For saving unicode text I'm using NVARCHAR2 type. All unicode strings saved perfect, and displayed in dbGrid when I'm set UseUnicode option

Structure of table In database looks like:

Code: Select all

CREATE TABLE TEST1 (
  COMMENTS       VARCHAR2(255),
  NAME           NVARCHAR2(255),
)

For select data from table I'm using next sql query:

Code: Select all

  SELECT 
  COMMENTS, NAME
  FROM TEST1

I want add some static text in sql query, to show as result I try using next sql text:

Code: Select all

  SELECT 
  COMMENTS, NAME, 
  '百度百' as StrJapanese,
  'სდიფჰსდ ფიჰს' as StrGeorgian,
  'Тестовая строка' as StrRussian
  FROM TEST1

When query executed instead of the unicode string I got question marks. What settings i have got to set to show correct data?

I set some settings, but my result is incorrect

Code: Select all

...
  UniConnection1.SpecificOptions.Values['UseUnicode'] := 'true';
  UniConnection1.SpecificOptions.Values['UnicodeEnvironment'] := 'true';
...
initialization
  OCIUnicode := True;

PS:
TUniConnection options:

Direct := True
UseUnicode := True

Delphi XE
UniDAC 5.5.11
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit

Code: Select all

select * from nls_database_parameters;

NLS_CALENDAR GREGORIAN

NLS_COMP BINARY
NLS_CURRENCY $
NLS_DATE_FORMAT DD-MON-RR

Hello,

Different UniCode characters will be supported in queries only if NLS_CHARACTERSET = AL32UTF8 is used (UniCode support). In your case, as a workaround, you can sue parameters instead of constants:

Code: Select all

  UniQuery1.SQL.Text := 'SELECT :p1 as StrJapanese, :p2 as StrGeorgian, :p3 as StrRussian FROM dual';
  UniQuery1.ParamByName('p1').National := true;
  UniQuery1.ParamByName('p1').AsString := '百度百';
  UniQuery1.ParamByName('p2').National := true;
  UniQuery1.ParamByName('p2').AsString := 'სდიფჰსდ ფიჰს';
  UniQuery1.ParamByName('p3').National := true;
  UniQuery1.ParamByName('p3').AsString := 'Тестовая строка';
  UniQuery1.Open;

Hello, Thanks for the answer.
This is for me the perfect solution.
