Greetings,
I have a SQL server 2000 running on an english win2000 workstation. In a
database I have a table where one varchar column is set to polish
collation.
Regional settings for the system is polish.
Data entered in a client application looks fine until they are posted.
When reading the data with the client application, the special polish
characters are incorrect, they appears as e.g. '1' and '3'.
The strange thing is that when I use query analyzer to look at the data,
then the polish characters appears as they should!
My client app use ADO, the SQLOLEDB provider. I have tried to use
'Locale Identifier=xxxx' in the connection string, without any luck.
If I change the column to be nvarchar instead of varchar, then it work,
but unfortunately, this solution is not an option. This should work on
varchar columns, since polish is not multibyte.
What am I doing wrong??
TIA
Best regards
Philip Kofoed
