Default Re: ODBC and encodings problem

There is a project of an ODBC driver that uses libpq at Command Prompt...

This is an answer I got a few weeks ago.

We are all looking forward to trying it. But licencing and deadlines are not really clear at the moment.

Objet : Re: [ODBC] ODBC and encodings problem

Does this mean I have to initdb my cluster again? I tried to do this on windows with 'initdb --encoding=LATIN1' but it hang on 'selecting default max_connections ...' I'm looking into this now. Not sure if it's an encoding problem or something else.

What I was wondering was, why does the ODBC driver act differently to Zeos or pgAdmin III? Zeos and pgAdmin both use the libpq client library which I suppose is the standard. Is there a way the ODBC driver could be hacked to give the same response as libpq or am I simplifying this too much.

Default Re: ODBC and encodings problem

I've looked at the mylog outputs from pgODBC in this case and they seem to
show the driver (at some point) returns the correct values. How these are
then translated and shown in MS Access is beyond me. I'll keep
investigating though.

[investigated some more]I just tried pgODBC 7.03.0208 and I get the correct
result. Seems it's another bug that's been introduced after this time.
I'll look to see which version is the earliest to cause this problem.

Default Another post 7.3.02 bug Was: ODBC and encodings problem

Does anyone have enough knowledge of the pgODBC driver to see where this bug
is coming from? I've been looking through the code but can't get a handle
on how it is structured. Are there any documents available which could give
me a starting point on kacking the driver. I'm not a C coder so this is all
a learning experience.

Default Re: Another post 7.3.02 bug Was: ODBC and encodings problem


I checked the ODBC 8.x CVS HEAD (source code). I found out, that it
seems to work nicely
on Windows. I don't know anything about Linux ODBC driver side.

If the backend uses SQL_ASCII charset, it means, that the backend
does not know the charset of the non ASCII characters.
Pound character does not belong to those characters.

Correct way of fixing the bug is to tell for the backend server, that
what charset is
used there. LATIN1 or UTF-8 are good alternatives.

So, if switching into LATIN1 as the backend charset works nicely, the
ODBC driver
is okay: according to Philippe Lang, the charset switching works!

So the user must do an initdb.

It is very good, that the current ODBC driver handles data conversions
on the client side in Windows.

I found out this from the source code of CVS HEAD:

The ODBC driver uses ANSI C API for client charset. So ANSI C charset
selection
(a C standard) works on Windows applications. This means, that C and C++
programs
do work. Other languages should work also.

With Windows applications, if an application uses different charsets in
different threads,
the "global" charset selection applies, not one thread's private charset
selection.

Default Re: Another post 7.3.02 bug Was: ODBC and encodings problem

Thanks for your reply,

This is approximately how I understood it. I still do see a problem:

Using SQL_ASCII character set on the server.

- Connecting with ZeosDbo and Delphi I get the correct representation of £
signs.
- Connecting with pgAdmin III (via libpq) I get the same.
- Connecting with pgODBC version 7.03.0208 or before I get the same.
- When I connect with the latest pgODBC version (08.00.0003) I get the
results as stated previously.

As I understand it, the ODBC driver shouldn't try to decode data from the
server in this situation, but it must do, as when I look into the mylog file
the data returned from the database is correct.
