The ODBC driver fully supports the SQL-W functions and Unicode arguments, for example, SQLConnectW. This support enables faster processing of wide-characters and allows binding of the SQL_C_WCHAR output type.
On Windows, SQL-W routines map to UTF-16. On Linux and UNIX, SQL-W routines map to UTF-8 or UTF-16. See Internationalization, Localization, and Unicode for more information about internationalization and localization and about important differences in developing applications on Linux and UNIX.
Refer to the OpenAccess SDK Client Reference for information about data type mappings, and additional information about developing applications on Linux and UNIX.
