Description

For Adaptive Server Enterprise 12.5 and Oracle9i, PowerBuilder supports access to Unicode databases, including conversion of data between DBCS and Unicode. PowerBuilder also supports Unicode data types in these DBMSs.

For Adaptive Server Anywhere 7.x and later releases, PowerBuilder supports access to Unicode databases, including conversion of data between DBCS and Unicode.

For other DBMSs, PowerBuilder can connect, save, and retrieve data in a Unicode database, but does not convert data between DBCS and Unicode. When data is saved to the database, PowerBuilder sends ANSI or DBCS data to the database. The database itself must guarantee that the data is saved as Unicode data correctly. When PowerBuilder retrieves data, the data is assumed to be ANSI or DBCS data.
