Re: [sqlite] RE: UNICODE Support
Consider upgrading to 3.3.6. The following are some changes related to the UTF stuff. *2006 June 6 (3.3.6)* - Fix an obscure segfault in UTF-8 to UTF-16 conversions *2006 April 5 (3.3.5)* - The sqlite3_create_collation() function honors the SQLITE_UTF16_ALIGNED flag.

I haven't seen any bugs as such with sqlite as such but I did have a few problems storing "foreign" characters through the Python wrappers to sqlite, where the wrappers barfed converting the "foreign" character. In one case it was because the source (Windows app) lied about the encoding - it claimed the text was UTF-8 when it was windows-1252. In the other case the text came from a Unix box and was supposed to be 7-bit ASCII, but I suspect it was generated by a Windows app, as above. I think I've got this all sorted in my mind but if you say sqlite has issues handling UTF-8 then I need to look at it again. Martin

Could you give some example of unexpected result with UTF-8? In my experience the only unexpected results with UTF-8 were bugs in my program (like passing non-UTF-8 string). Any other unexpected result should be considered a bug in SQLite and reported as such. Regards, ~Nuno Lucas -- Cory Nelson http://www.int64.org
