Hello,

I started to test SqueakDBX yesterday (Squeak 3.10.2, OpenDBX 1.4.1, Windows XP, Oracle DB) and finally I was able to get my first result set:

Hi! Welcome to SqueakDBX. We hope we can help you :) You say "and finally I was able to get my first result". Did you have any problem? We would love to know it so that to fix it or at least to document it. We want to make our wiki the most useful possible.

connectionSettings := DBXConnectionSettings host: 'oracledb2.srs.cz' port: '1521' database: 'ISMON' userName: 'xxx' userPassword: 'xxx'.

conn := DBXConnection platform: DBXOraclePlatform new settings: connectionSettings.

conn connect. conn open. result := conn execute: 'select name from users order by name'. DBXTranscript show: result. conn close. conn disconnect.

But I have two problems:

• all czech characters are converted to ASCII (diacritical marks are

removed)

mmmmm I have a couple of cuestions about this:

1) The database is also in a Windows? or other OS ?

2) Can you send me an example of those czech characters ? perhaps a record of the user table?

3) I remember that in Oracle you can specify the encoding of the database. which is the encoding of the one you are trying to use?

4) Can you perfectly send queries and inserts using czech characters using a SQL client like sqlplus or SLQDeveloper ?

• order of names is bad

This is weird. Cannot do it right now, but in case we don't have a unit test for this, I will do it and see if I can reproduce it here. If there is a bug, it will be fixed :)

Does SqueakDBX support national character sets and sorting ?

Sorting for sure. Perhaps there is a little bug but this is supported.

National character, I have to investigate it a bit. There are several "things" here:

- Database support - Native C client library support - OpenDBX - Squeak has a lot of problems with encoding yet - SqueakDBX

However, my latin amercian characters like:

'éçèéçè', 'éçèéçèéçèéçè', ' 'äöüäöü' 'äöüäöüäöüäöü'

are working well.

When you answer me your questions I can ask openDBX author and also make some tests.

Best,

Mariano

Michal

Hi Michal,I think that you have an oracle configuration problem. Make sure that your window register have: NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET UTF8 NS_LANG AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
