Thread: Support for Special Big5 double-byte characters
Hi all,
I am new to this mailing list. Currently I am using Debian 2.2 + PGSQL 7.1 as backend db server.
I am writing a Visual FoxPro 6 application and access the data via ODBC driver 7.01.00.07. This
FoxPro program mainly deals with Chinese Traditional (Big5) characters. I tried to search the list
archive by Google, and some experts said there's a patch of the ODBC driver which can solve the
Chinese Big5 character's second byte (i.e. "\") problem. Could anyone please kindly let me know
where to obtain this patch ? Thank you very much.

MULTIBYTE stuff is #ifdef'd and you can get the multibyte version of the dll by typing nmake /f win32.mak cfg=MultibyteRelease . If you are to use BIG5 as the client encoding, you have to add the following command to the *Connect Settings* DataSource option. set client_encoding to 'BIG5' regards, Hiroshi Inoue
