Default value

UnicharBind=0

Usage

The default setting, UnicharBind=0, is recommended for binding Char, Varchar, and Text data. This binding encodes the string data as ANSI strings determined by the current client operating system's code page. UnicharBind=1 is recommended for binding strings as Unichar, Univarchar, and Unitext data.

DisableBind must be set to 0

For UnicharBind to take effect, the DisableBind parameter must be set to 0. DisableBind=1 overrides the UnicharBind setting.

  • Database profile

    Select the Bind String parameters as Unichar Type check box on the Transaction page in the Database Profile Setup dialog box.
