In this case, it is. IBX uses String as pathname and not WideString.
Delphi doesn't natively support Unicode. The first version that
apparently will properly support Unicode will be Delphi 2006 in
combination with .Net(not Win32).

And, I'm aware of this problem, but it seems to depend on certain
circumstances. Since, in this example, isc_attach_database() can be
used directly with any Japanese pathnames, but not via IBX.
