Buhhh,

So what is it? Why no description/manual/help over the new feature to find?

Uniconnection, DBF Provider, Direct Mode => Yes

If there is a dbf file in the data dir with spaces in it's name AV, bds needs cold restart.
Trying to open a table, clipper dbf files, ADO works fine with dbfIII or IV setting,
Unidac Direct mode:
"vtable constructor failed"

No clue where it comes from, nothing in the sources, web search engine gives sqlite pages back for this
error.


Edit: Wow, i managed to get it work. Moved out the not welcomed tables from the dir.
A tiny bit slower as ADO (non direct mode), really just a tiny bit, but _hopefully_ it's independent from the system(/BDE) now.

How can i override the <used charset / missing charset indicator in the DBF>?

Btw. Direct mode -> true / Specific options / Info -> AV *odbc*.bpl

Thank you for the information. Please, specify what you mean by asking the question:

«How can i override the <used charset / missing charset indicator in the DBF>?»

Probably, you will provide a more detailed description of the functionality you are interested in, in order for us to help you make an optimal decision using UniDAC

AFAIK:
Normally, DBF's having a charset/language marker/indicator byte/word in the .dbf file itself.
Can't tell you the proper name of it anymore.
This setting is for choosing the right charset for displaying/using the database file.
If it's empty (0) there should be a setting to override that like BDE does.
Nobody want's to do a manual translation in the client code.

Thank you for the information. We will consider a possibility of implementing this behavior in one of the next versions. We will inform you about the results as soon as we get them.

Thank you for the information. We have reproduced the problem and fixed the bug. The fix will be included in the next UniDAC build. Currently, we can send you a night build of UniDAC with the fix.
