Hey.

I am struggeling with what I suspect to be a XFD-definition problem.

The "sql" data format of text columns is somehow wrong. It cannot display Norwegian characters, which is a problem for me. The format is now varchar(30) which is a non-Unicode format. I am not sure if changing to e.g. nvarchar wil help me, but its the first thing I can think of.

Have any of you got any ideas of how to extract text-fields with international(Norwegian) characters?

Version 10 GA date is Sept 24 2015 .

SUBJECT: Different characters sets showing incorrectly in a query

Change Number:  ECN-XD101

New Version: 10.0.0

If an application such as Microsoft query attempts to read data files containing OEM characters, the data would not display correctly. A new configuration variable has been introduced that will translate entered

data to and from the ANSI and the OEM character set.

OEM_CHARACTER_SET

Setting this variable to ON(TRUE, YES), causes XDBC to call a function that will translate the ANSI character set to the OEM character set.  Data being read will be translated from the OEM character set to the ANSI character set.
