Proper Unicode Support

orcltoolbox · Post by **orcltoolbox** » Tue 05 Jul 2005 11:52

Hi,

i wonder if your ODAC library ever gonna have full unicode support? Creating an UTF-16 environment OCI context (using the OCIEnvNlsCreate function).

At the moment only fields/parameters can be passed/retrieved as widestrings, but sql's cannot be submitted as widestrings. This means for example that i cannot create stored procedures with unicode text in it. ... and even simple select statements with hardcoded strings in it would need to be parsed and replaced with bind variables if they contain unicode strings.

Regards,
Stefan

We are planning to implement such feature in ODAC but not in the nearest time.

i guess i am another half year away from having my product released, by then i will need this functionality.

Please let me know if you would like to work together on that or need any help/testers. I would prefer you guys making the changes as you know your library the best, but i have no problem also putting some work on my own into it .. (which reminds me that i should upgrade to the sourcecode version for that)

Cheers,
Stefan

We are planing to investigate possibility of such feature implementation in the nearest time. I can't provide any defined date or build number.

I can't tell you the exact date or ODAC release when we will support such functionality. We have tasks with higher priority to do, once we complete them we will start implementing the feature you request.
