  • Subject: [freetds] Unicode Characters/Codepoint Above 0x00FF
  • Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:34:21 -0700

I am using a FreeBSD 7.1 client w/ FreeTDS 0.64_3,1 to insert into a SQL Server 2005 db (SP3), but I cannot get unicode characters above code-point 0x00FF to be properly inserted. However, I can read all unicode characters from the server with a select-statement. Here are the important freetds.conf settings --

[global]
tds version = 8.0
client charset = UTF-8
debug flags = 0x4FFF

I have a test query and the corresponding log file. The test query inserts some text with one non-ascii character: code-point 0x0200 (a capital A with " on top of it). The UTF-8 representation is 0xC880, and the UCS2 and UTF-16 representation is 0x0200 (not accounting for endianism). Here's the query that was used --

if ((erc = dbcmd(dbproc, "INSERT INTO uni (data) VALUES('Hello World: \xC8\x80')")) == FAIL) {
printf("\ndbcmd() ERROR\n");
exit(8);
}

All I get is a question mark in the SQL Server 2005 table. The 3rd-to- last hex-dump in the following log shows the insert-packet, which looks fine. iconv appears to properly convert the insert-query to UCS-2 and the hex shows that the non-ascii character os 0002 (little endian machine). Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help.
Chris Wittmann
