Is there a way to check for ODBC driver UNICODE support
Hi, ALL, I'm writing a C++ code to talk to a different DBMSes and wonder if there is a way to check programmatically for the UNICODE support. I know its a year 2026 and 99.9999% of the programs ...
"Yeah, you can check if an ODBC driver supports Unicode by looking at its documentation or properties first. Another way is to test it using a small query with Unicode data and see how it behaves. Some drivers also show Unicode support in the ODBC Data Source Administrator settings. In my case, I usually confirm it by checking driver specs or running a quick test with wide-character data, that gives a clear idea pretty quickly."
