Hello,
I have a question regarding text encoding of filenames on Unix
platforms. I’ve read the two related mailing list threads I could find
A Unix platform! If it is Unix, it must be inituitively obvious and
we should be able to close the gates and keep those nasty dinosaurs
out.
(3) SQLite developers refuse to get into this argument and think it’s
up to the developer of the client application, who should pass a string
of whatever encoding they think right into sqlite_open() which in turn
passes it on to open().
I think that it must (and should be) the above.
Some Unix-conformant systems always use UTF-8 for file names in their
filesystems, some offer support for multiple encodings in their
filesystem, and some just store whatever null-terminated characters
are provided and use simple matching.
If your Unix-conformant system stores files in a MS-DOS/Windows FAT
filesystem then you are subject to the limitations of that filesystem.
