The converter doesn't seem to remove the second byte which is zero. ( 66 00 6F 00 6F 00 equals "foo" ) As far as I know UTF-8 uses only one byte per ascii character. How do I get this thing to remove the zero byte?
12:20 0 RDBMS DRIBBLE Convert from 5, size is 90, content: 66 00 6F 00 6F 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
this data is utf-16, babel can deal with that, too.
i'm looking into installing oracle now, so that i can test it myself...
