Hi David,

We use Qt (http://qt.nokia.com/). 

So we cannot connect to FreeTDs directly. Qt does. ( In fact we dont  want :) )

Nowadays , we , all programmers use UTF-8 as the default charset.  I think , this is the best choise to make DATA platform independent.

An also , ı think , FreeTDS must use / must give an option to use UTF-8 as the default charset.


Thanks for your interest

Regards
