Hello!

We are buliding an application which works on laptops with Oracle databases installed to it. Our customer now is active also in Slovakia and needs some laptops with unicode support. So there will be some notebooks having installed 10g with unicode support. On all other notebooks will remain Oracle 9 without unicode.
(The goal is to have just one application version with "best" behaviour, not "optimal".)
Setting Oracelsession...UTFConversion to cuUTF8ToUTF16 unicode characters (with Unicode DB) will be shown correctly in the application. Strings are returned from unicode Db in Widestring-Fields. Oracle 9 returns even with this setting string fields.
Is there a way to hold result field types the same (with and without unicode)? Since I have persistant fields in the app. the change of fieldtypes is a big problem.

Regards, Klaus Edelmann

This is currently not possible in 4.1, but we'll add a preference property for this at the TOracleSession level in the final 4.1 release (and the next beta).

Alternatively you can set UTFConversion to cuUTF16ToUTF8 right now, but this may not work well when data-aware UTF-controls require widestrings.

Hallo Marco!

Thanks for your reply! Do you know now when this next beta will be released?
Is there a scheduled date for the 4.1 final?

Regard, Klaus Edelmann

If you let me know your Delphi version, I will upload this enhanced version when it is implemented.

We had planned the final 4.1 release for the end of this month.

Hello again, Marco!

*This* is a really demand-oriented offer. Thx for it! I'm still working with Delphi 7 (for this certain project).
Anyway, "end of this month" is not too far.

Regards, Klaus

pls include this fixes with final 4.1 release.

I've been waiting for so long time

Hello Marco, we have about the same Problem, our Environment is Dephi5 Enterprise, TNT Unicode Edits, DOA 4.0.6, Oracle 10g R1 AL32UTF8, Client Oracle 10g , nls_lang set to GERMAN_GERMANY.WE8MSWIN1252.
German text is saved correctly, Russin Text (kyrillic) is displayed correct, but saved as ?????????.
What is wrong, is this a setting problem or a doa problem?
Beste regards Michael

PS: if i save kyrillic text with Enterprise Manager, it works fine !! so Database seems to be Okay.

You are using 4.0.6? Unicode support requires 4.1 (which is in beta now).

Hi Marco, do you have a schedule date for 4.1.

If helpfull I

Version 4.1 will be available this month. There is a public beta for those who have a current service contract (which entitles you to 4.1).
