Unicode support

[lev_ko]

Does DOA 3.0.4 support Unicode? Is it possible to receive data as WideStrings?

Thanks.

Direct Oracle Access uses AnsiStrings for multi-byte character strings, but you can assign string values to/from WideStrings if you prefer.

How does DOA know the character set? From Windows or from Oracle login parameter?

Delphi/C++Builder uses the locale of the Windows system. Oracle Net uses the NLS_LANG settings of the Oracle Home.

Thank you, but I still don't understand.

When I use FieldAsString, which is the character set of the text - the locale or the NLS parameter?

Thanks again.
