[Firebird-odbc-devel] Problems with MS Access and Unicode

[Henner Kollmann]

Hello,

if you use the odbc driver with MS Access and UTF8 fields you always get a
#deleted message.
This described here:

http://www.easysoft.com/support/kb/kb00929.html.


I patched the driver source to return a SQL_C_CHAR instead of SQL_C_WCHAR
and created a new MsVc90 project to generate an odbc driver named "Firebird
driver for MS Access".

This new driver works with MS Access 2003 and 2007 with Unicode databases.

Is anybody interested in this patch? How can I submit it?

Best regards,
Henner

Hi Henner,

I can look at your patch. You can send it me or publish it in the
Firebird-odbc-devel mail list.
Does your patch for sources of the ODBC driver 2.0 RC2 ?
