===================================================================
Code Examples for my Talk "Character Sets and Unicode in Firebird"
at the Firebird Conference 2007 in Hamburg Germany
===================================================================

I'm sorry my examples didn't work. In his recent 4.8.7 version of IBObjects,
Jason Wharton introduced a mechanism that translates characters to the local
character set when you specify UTF8 as the Client Character set. I consider this
a bug and will continue to discuss it with Jason. As you have seen, it leads
to unexpected results.

I have decided to not include my examples, but you can download last year's examples from

    www.destructor.de/talks/fb2006-charsets.zip

and compile the Delphi examples with an older version of IBO.

In case you have any questions, just send me a mail.
You can also discuss Firebird related issues at the great

    Firebird Support list on
    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/firebird-support/

or IBO related matters at the

    IBO Support list on
    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/IBObjects/

I'm on both of these lists and will try to reply whenever there are Character Set
or Unicode related questions.


Best Regards

Stefan Heymann
