UTF-8 Queries not properly encoded (and this kills the process) about snowflex HOT 3 CLOSED

@andyleclair are you using the latest published version? We're actively working on a 1.0 on a branch that's basically a total rewrite.

We were, yes. After looking into it more, the Erlang ODBC docs specify that the query is a list of ASCII characters, so my guess is that's where the real issue lies. https://www.erlang.org/doc/man/odbc.html

I tried a few variations of sending queries to :odbc directly with varying attempts at character coercion from the :unicode module, but no dice there. Maybe I should raise a bug with the Erlang team?

I didn't get anywhere with the process not being restarted, once we discovered this limitation, using ODBC at all was a non-starter for us, as we accept user queries and we need it to work with UTF-8 data. We're using Avalanche now, and it's working well for us.

I'll close this, but probably something people should be aware of?

FWIW, Ericsson isn't maintaining the ODBC application (per this ticket ) so, probably not a thing that will get resolved
