Subject Unicode data from SQL Server or Excel to Firebird 2.1.0?
Author Kjell Rilbe
Hi!

I have some Unicode client data in SQL Server 2000 (originally from
Excel) that I need to query into a certain format (selection of columns
etc.) and insert into a Firebird 2.1.0 database.

This is on Windows 2000.

What is the easiest way to do this with only "out of the box" tools +
FlameRobin 0.8.6? (Includes SQL Server's Query Analyzer)

I can upgrade to Firebird 2.1.1 if it helps.

I understand SQL Server 2000 stores Unicode strings (nvarchar) in UCS2
format, which is(?) a subset of UTF-8.

I would assume the Firebird columns should by preference be created as
varchar(n) character set UTF8...?

I have Firebird ODBC driver 1.03.00.96 installed. Should I upgrade? Use
something else?

Any and all hints are most welcome...

Kjell
