Shachar,
I think with type oid 705 (unknown) it's safe to treat it as text. Certainly better than punting.
Question is what DBTYPE to report it as. Options are DBTYPE_WSTR (UTF-16 string, which means the input string must be a valid UTF-8 string), DBTYPE_STR (just dump it as I get it, and hope that client doesn't barf on the UTF-8 encoding), DBTYPE_BYTES (it's an array of bytes, just let the client figure out what to do with it. No promises on my part).
I don't know type 705 well enough to decide which would work best. If it's guaranteed to be a validly encoded text string, then I'll just put it in as DBTYPE_WSTR, and get it done with.
