Hi,

I am running an Oracle 9.0.1 server with AL16UTF16 NCHAR encoding.

I have client code using the OCI which fetches unicode data from the database into a wchar_t buffer.

The define handles have the OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_ID and the OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_FORM atributes se to OCI_UTF16ID and SQLCS_NCHAR respectively.

Now, when that code is compiled against the Oracle 8.1.6 OCI release then all works as expected.

But when I compile the code against the Oracle 9.0.1 OCI release then the unicode data is always returned as normal character data.

Does anyone have any ideas about this?

Thanks in advance
