Re: 08.02.04.00 Updating column with Unicode

Hi Hiroshi,

the parameters are bound as an UTF8-encoded bytearray. Because the
interface is controlled by a Smalltalk application, i think the codings
does not help you:
/bytes := v asByteArrayEncoding: #'utf-8'.
p copyAt: 0 from: bytes size: (size := bytes size) startingAt: 1.
p at: size put: 0
