Release 3.3.1
Releasenotes 3.3.1
It is now possible to override the character set from the database by using one of two methods:
- Reading the default character set from a system table (e.g. Firebird);
- Choosing a character set directly from a list.
You can find this setting by navigating to the 'Text' menu, and then 'Permanent settings' and
then to the 'SQL' tab. There you will find the field 'Charset handling'. When choosing the third
option ('Use charset translation') the combobox for 'character set' will become active and you
can choose a character set.
Most notabely you can use this setting for RDBMS types that are not directly supported such as
for instance a 'SAP-Hana' database. Or for database types where the ODBC driver does not correctly
hands over the character buffer in UTF-16 form to the MS-Windows operating system.
Such as the Firebird ODBC driver 2.x
NOTE:Do NOT forget to reset this general setting when connecting to a different database that does
not adhere correctly to the ODBC standard! As it will bite you as it did me!! :-(
