Hello everybody,

I have detected some strange behavior updating columns with Unicodes=20
strings.

Environment:
PostgreSQL 8.2.5
Database encoding: UTF8
ODBC: PostgreSQL Unicode Version 08.02.04.00

I am updating via ODBC a column (character varying nnn) of a record to=20
an unicoded string.

Updating by using the command as one parameterblock
'UPDATE adresse SET company =3D ''Seifert und Partner KG EUR ??'' WHERE i=
d=20
=3D 1'
works right. (the whole parameterblock is encoded to UTF8)

Updating the record by using the command 'UPDATE adresse SET company=3D?=20
WHERE record.id=3D?'
and providing the arguments for ? UTF8-encoded in an extra buffer=20
destroys the columns content.

If i update the column with an UTF8 encoded character in the default=20
range (the EURO Sign EUR), it works.

It seems that:
*SQLExecute handles UTF8 encoded character in the right way
SQLBindParameter handles UTF8 encoded character** in the wrong way (bad=20
encoding)
*
Can anybody give me some hints ?

mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards,
