Hi,
We have been successfully using freetds to communicate from our Oracle
9.2 database to a SQL Server database for quite some time. We have
recently run into a problem, however, with Asian languages. Japanese
and Chinese characters appear properly in our Oracle database, but
become garbled when we try to send them to the SQL Server database using
freetds. Does freetds support Unicode? I saw something on the site
that said it did not, but then found another page that said that it
did....so I am not sure! I also found some postings about getting
around this problem by setting the client charset = GB2312 in the
freetds.conf file. I tried that and also tried setting it to UTF-8.
Neither worked.
In our freetds.conf file it lists our tds version as 8.0
Thanks in advance for any help!
--Laurie
