Hi,
Still troubleshooting the problem with Japanese Characters getting
garbled upon transmission from Oracle db to SQL Server db using freetds
.64 and unixodbc 2.2.12.
My colleauge found this suggestion...what do you think?:

"Please try to change FreeTDS's client char set setting from UTF-8 to
EUCJP-MS as below.

1) add code EUCJP-MS to 'src/tds/encodings.h'.

2) change strings buffer from 256 to 100000 in 'src/tds/write.c'.

3) modify freetds.conf as such:  client charset=EUCJP-MS


I implemented 2) and 3) but for 1) did not know where to put the code in
the file.  Also, just wanted to know if you approve of this approach, in
general.  If so.....after these modifications, do I need to redo the
freetds "make" and "make install"?

Thanks,
Laurie

Both alternatives work.  If you use TDSDUMP, the variable must exist in
the environment of the process running the FreeTDS library.  I can
imagine
that would be a little tricky with your setup.  

If you use the "dump file" property of freetds.conf, be sure you're
using
an ODBC-Combined configuration.  (I assume your gateway relies on ODBC.)

If you don't specify the server using the "Servername" connection
attribute, freetds.conf will not be consulted and the dump file will not
be generated.
