Hi,

I'm using the most recent freetds version (0.64) to access MS SQL Server 
2005. Client character set is defined as utf-8 in freetds.conf.

I have a table TAB with a column COL defined as NVARCHAR(200). When running 
prepared statements like "insert into TAB (COL) values (?)", the library 
seems to interpret the field COL as VARCHAR (instead of NVARCHAR), and tries 
to convert query parameters from utf8 to CP1250. Therefore it fails if any of 
the arguments are from outside the CP1250 character set (so it works for most 
European characters, but not for Chinese). Do you have any ideas how to fix 
it?
