ODAC version 7.00.0.2 Delphi5 and Unicode in direct mode

[jantoni]

Hello,

we can't read NVarChar2 Fields in Delphi5.
With OCI-client everything is fine. The characters in the strings transforms into questionmarks. Exceptions are the space character - it stays as itself - and the percentage character (%) - it transforms into minus (-). This behaviour shows, even if the string contains only english or german texts.

In OraSession UseUnicode=True has been set.

Database is Oracle 10g. Nonunicode Database with NVarChar2-Fields for translation purposes:
NLSCHARSET=WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET=AL16UTF16

Same Problem with ODAC 6.90.0.60

It worked well with ODAC 5.80.0.38.

Hope anybody can help!

Regards

Jörg

Hello,

do you have a quick fix, which we can use for the moment?

We have ODAC 6.90.0.56 in use or can upgrade to Version 7.00.0.2.
