The IB6 API documentation notes this as: "The isc_create_database( ) method is not currently supported from user applications. It is for internal use only. Use isc_dsql_execute_immediate( ) to create a database with a valid database handle." Which I always took to mean that it was not to be used and I could not find any release notes changing that status. If this is now considered a public API then I think I will change my code to use that instead. >> So when isc_dsql_execute_immediate is called with CREATE DATABASE >> the database handle is null and there is no current connection >> character set.

That will be why I had so much trouble finding how it was processed in the server source code ;-) Hmmm... SET NAMES I thought an ISQL only command. Can I send that via isc_dsql_execute_immediate or something to change some internal state in the client DLL? -- Geoff Worboys Telesis Computing ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
