There might be other places when something like this needs to be done for FPC/Lazarus.
The other day I again saw a lot of ?? field value returns for some simple string fields (not calculated fields, just normal db fields) on Windows (did not check on Linux).

Yes, this fixes it. Thanks.

Yes, this seems to fix it. Thank you.

I am not sure we can call this a "problem" with Lazarus. It is just that FPC and Lazarus uses UTF-8 strings by default on all operating systems.

I just replaced the real field names I have in my example, so that is not the problem.
Plus, as I've mentioned I use MySQL server.
And, as I've mentioned it works properly with 6.6.6 stable.

The following SQL statement executed on a MySQL 5.x table with TZQuery SELECT DATE_FORMAT( CTime, '%Y/%m/%d' ) AS FClicked, count( * ) AS Cnt FROM TableName GROUP BY FClicked ORDER BY FClicked the field value of the result set field "FClicked" always returns '??' instead of the date values...
