For those of you on CF-Talk, apologies for the cross-post, but it's got sod-all takers 
over there so I'll run it past yews lot (that is your actual Scouse).


================================

If you're using CFMX Standard and Oracle 9i, is it possible to save and
retrieve Unicode?

Every post relating to this suggests checking the "String Format" box in
the DSN page, which doesn't appear on the CFMX Standard DSN page.

I've successfully saved and retrieved Japanese characters to MySQL by
adding

useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8

in the connection string, but can something along those lines be done
with either an ODBC or JDBC connection to Oracle. Or are we going to
have to stump up for Enterprise?


================================

As a follow up to that last comment, we've just installed CFMX 6.1 on a machine in 
Developer-mode so we can see whether the native Oracle drivers are any different, and 
even with the "String Format" box checked, the following SQL (the template is saved as 
UTF-8 c/w BOM and happily displays the Japanese in DWMX and IE) doesn't successfully 
insert Japanese characters into an NCLOB field.

<cfquery datasource="...">
        insert into test (
                ntest)
        values (
                <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_clob" 
value="ここにデータを入力して">)
</cfquery>

<cfquery name="q" datasource="...">
        select *
        from test
</cfquery>

<cfdump var="#q#">



Thanks for any help or pointers.
