Yes. I am indeed using the Unicode version of the driver. I am constrained to use it. Is there a possibility where we can configure something to get SQL_VARCHAR instead of SQL_WVARCHAR for varchar column in the UNICODE driver?

Greetings,
I think you are using the unicode version of the driver. If you use the non-unicode version it will use the locale settings and strings will be returned as SQL_VARCHAR.
I am working on a linux ODBC C++ application and using psqlodbc driver. I need help on the below few questions.
1. Is there a way in which we can make the psqlodbc code work according to the client encoding?
For example, if my application encoding is UTF-8, i would want the types and strings returned to my application in UTF-8. I think by default, it is returning UTF-16 strings.
2. The default behaviour of the driver is when we have a VARCHAR column in a table, it returns SQL_WVARCHAR as the type. Is there a possibility where we can configure something (maybe at connection string), such that it returns SQL_VARCHAR for VARCHAR column and not SQL_WVARCHAR ?
