Thinking here, setting our own string type seems the way to go.

it took me long to see this, by the way :)

The syntax for limiting the results in firebird is: select first x, y from table This is very recommended as a best pratice in development process. By the way, 2000 records aren't too much, in my point of view. If your table don't have much columns and your network should be fast, maybe, there's a h...

But delphi before 2009 works with UTF-16 ? before? Widestring, maybe.. UTF8 in D2007 and previous is just a mapping to regular string.. Let's discuss that later... Now we must get it working 'as is'. I want to get the changes moved into trunk. Mark Right! 7.0 with ANSI support in D2009 7.1 with uni...

Hi there :) Agreed with the conversion layer! On top of Plain, following the unicode mantra: "Convert to unicode as soon as possible". And I say that when we support full unicode (Zeos 7.1, officialy?), the internal encoding should be done with UTF-16 Little Endian, which is Delphi 2009 AN...

Database Unicode Support Table

We're trying to find out what databases support unicode and how they do that. Please help us! Values for fields are: Unknown , Partial and Full , except for encoding, which can be UTF-8 , UTF-16LE (Windows Widechar default), UTF-16BE , UTF-32 , UCS-2 and UCS-4 . Protocol: ADO (Active Data Objects) S...

Hello there :)
Your problem is related to the MySQL configuration.

Take a look in here:

Zeos accepts connection to remote hosts without problems ;)

gto's thoughts on Zeos architecture

Hello there! Since when I started using Zeos, I've been thinking in optimization and new features. I've switched from BDE, and since then, Zeos helped me a lot. I've been saying that along posts, in my opinion, Zeos claim for a major rework. In this post, I'll try to brainstorm these ideas, and hear...

Ahm.. sorry for trolling and triple-posting, but there's another idea: Why don't we create a table on supported DB's and their support to unicode, if any ?

I think will make things clear, and then we can plan something.

Am I right?

Uhm, much quicker :)

Patch created on testing folder, at Rev 537.

ZEOS_FULL_UNICODE removed from zeos.inc and all calls to it redirected to DELPHI12_UP.

UPDATE:

Already commited to Rev 538!

Conclusions : * let's rename the compiler directive (you doing it, gto?) * avoid conditional code as much as possible * why revert 537? We should think about the replacement first, I believe. Or does it make the situation worse than before? Mark I think the idea to revert is only to avoid a rework,...

Hello there :) I've created this directive, and it means DELPHI12_UP, indeed. It will really become clearly than ZEOS_FULL_UNICODE. About the creation of this function to handle encoding, I think it should be thinked a bit. There are DB's in which the unicode support is very bad, and which don't sup...

Hi tkyr ! Good to know about your testing :) The full support for unicode fields aren't OK yet, but we're working on it. I'm really unexperienced with utf-8 in firebird. There's a possibility you can provide us a test program, with the SQL to create a test DB? the support for unicode in SQLite, Post...
