I too have some doubts, but having clarified the fact that national character types are a SQL-92 standard clears some of them. However, I see no reference about the expected input/output encoding (Unicode data is a bit vague). Is it expected to be UFT-8? Or maybe match the internal encoding of the driver (e.g. UTF-16?)? What happens if I try to quote a latin1 string? Cheers -- Matteo Beccati Development & Consulting - http://www.beccati.com/
