Re: Problem with Chinese characters

Hello:

I would like to use ANSI ODBC driver as my sql
statement is already converted to UTF-8 before
calling SQLExecute(). However, i found from the log
file that the client encoding is BIG5 which is my
system's locale, so the text is wrong when it is
inserted to my UNICODE database.

Can I set the client encoding to UTF8 in my DNS or
through any ODBC functions??

Thanks a lot!
