I don't have very much experience writing clients in C, but I have been following the MySQL unicode development. If you haven't already it might help to look at the MySQL source that deals with unicode. In the strings directory there are two files ctype-utf8.c and ctype-ucs2.c. All the sorting and string comparisons for unicode are defined there. I think the conversion from char* to unicode is done there. I suggest you look at the latest source for 4.1.2 in the bitkeeper tree because changes are still being made to this code. I expect there will be more significant changes in the next couple of weeks. It might also help to read the SET CHARACTER SET and SET NAMES commands here: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Charset.html Good luck, Jeremy -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
