Unicode Support in .NET

Note: The ADO and ADO.NET clients are currently available only in OpenAccess SDK 8.1. However, they are compatible with the OpenAccess SDK 9.0 server.

Internally, .NET applications use UTF-16 Unicode encoding for string data. When fetching data, the ADO.NET Client automatically performs the conversion from the character encoding used by the database to UTF-16. Similarly, when inserting or updating data in the database, the driver automatically converts UTF-16 encoding to the character encoding used by the database.
