Devart Forums

I am using Enterprise Library (January 2006) and the Corelab driver 2.55.25.0. I have found that unicode characters in the database (such as ©) are correct in pgAdmin, but appear as © when retrieved from the database using EL.

Shouldn't the EL driver perform the conversion? The database is set to UTF8 encoding.

Please send me a test project to reproduce the problem.
It is desirable to use 'test' schema objects, otherwise include definition of your own database objects.
Use e-mail address provided in the Readme file.
Do not use third party components.

I will try to find some time to put that together, but since this is a pretty simple test case, I would think your team could easily set this up.

Furthermore, there is a history of Unicode related issues in the forums, all of which have been fixed, but none yet reported in Enterprise Library.

I will be looking forward to your test project and database objects definition.

I have sent a test project that reproduces the problem to [email protected].

I haven't received your letter.
Please resend it to me directly (alexeyi at crlab dot com).

What database encoding do you have?
Please set Unicode attribute of the connection string to True.

I confirm that the Unicode attribute fixes the problem. Hopefully nobody else will get caught by this in the future, as it's not obvious.

I think it is obvious.
From our documentation:

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the UTF8 charset will be used.
true, if client charset UTF8 is used; false, if default client charset is used. The default value is false.
