Remember me please why isc_lc_ctype isn't used to determine
encoding of database name and DPB values?
Due to limitations of WideCharToMultiByte API. (with posix iconv this
cabe easily done)
Do you mean that client would have to have a table matching Firebird
charset names and Windows codepages?
Sorry, windows-specific part was implemented not by me. As gar as I know
there were more serious problems.
Table will certainly be needed, but IMO it's not too big deal.
I suppose you suggest to fallback to existing way when there is no
isc_dpb_lc_ctype in DPB?
BTW, service name during service attach isn't converted into UTF-8
at all.
It was always ascii :D
Except host name part.
Host name is not sent over the wire.
I doubt names resolver in system using (for example) cp1251 will accept
host name in utf8.
