SQL_ASCII encoding

CSN
What exactly is the "SQL_ASCII" encoding for
databases? Is it like Unicode, UTF-8, ISO_8859_x, ...?
In what cases wouldn't you want to use it?

We interpret it pretty much as "we don't know the encoding". We store
what the client sends and then regurgitate it, without any encoding
conversion in either direction. Internal operations only understand
7-bit-ASCII characters in this mode.

Long story longer. I need to get web user input into a backend system that a) only grocks single byte encoding, b) expectes the data transer to be 1 bytes = 1 character, and c) uses the HP Roman-6 codepage system wide. As much as it sounds good, UTF/Unicode encoding is not an option, nor is changing the codepage. Tackling the first is easy via Encoding.Default.GetBytes and shoving it over the network. However, Encoding.Default is the...

Hi I need to store accented characters in a postgres (7.4) database, and access the data (mostly) using the postgres JDBC driver (from a web app). Does anyone know if: 1) Is there a performance loss using (multibyte) UNICODE vs (single byte) SQL_ASCII/LATINxxx character encoding? (In terms of extra data, and searching/sorting speeds).

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
