Yes, its perfectly possible, I do it all the time, use SQLWCHAR [], 
expect it to be a two or more byte size array value, and treat as such. 
What you cant do is expect the standard library to understand it.

Well, its not, its a pointer to a character, not an array, nothing about 
dynamic. But whatever, you cant expect %s in printf to understand 
anything but characters. (or multiple char sequences if using UTF8).
