  iAnywhere Solutions ODBC Driver for Oracle

Unicode support


The Oracle Wire Protocol driver automatically determines whether the Oracle database is a Unicode database.

The Oracle Wire Protocol driver maps the Oracle data types as follows:

Oracle Data Type Mapped to
Char SQL_WCHAR
Varchar2 SQL_WVARCHAR
Long SQL_WLONGVARCHAR
Clob SQL_WLONGVARCHAR

This driver supports the Unicode ODBC function calls, called W (Wide) calls (for example, SQLConnectW). These calls are used to accept Unicode datastreams.
