Hello, I am encountering a problem trying to open a sqlite3 db (ver 3.3.6) using the sqlite3_open function. According to the docs, the file path should be utf8 encoded. If in the path there are non-ansii chars, the following method fails in win98.
AFAIK the Win9x systems can only use FAT16/32 and these filesystems cannot use Unicode, everything has to be translated into charset used by the system. I think you will never succeed using UTF-8 encoded filenames on those systems. I don't know how it can be done programmatically, but each file or directory name has its 8.3 name as well, i.e. "Program Files" would be "progra~1". I think this is the safest way how to pass filenames to SQLite. It should work on Win 9x as well as 2K and XP. Peter
