support of Unicode character set would be most welcome

Hi Collin,

I am very glad that the Idea Exchange seems to be alive again after being apparently dead for almost three years...

However, your comment that - five years after the suggestion - implementation will take place in the next couple of years, sounds, hm, how should I say, not exactly ambitious 

But who knows, maybe CVI 2017 will provide some other "large" feature to make us excited again

Hi Wolfgang, 

I apologize the unicode feature is farther out than you would expect. I can assure you that CVI 2017 has some features that you will be excited about and encourage you to try out the beta that we will announce in the next couple of weeks. Thank you for your comment!

I also wish for unicode support.

If (when??) you do this, please also include updating the SQL Toolkit so that we can select from and insert data into NVARCHAR columns in true unicode (e.g. add the appropriate "DBBindColNChar" etc functions).

Thx,

Alex

Hi AlexK1,

Yes, we are planning on updating the SQL Toolkit to support this feature alongside the Unicode support. Look for this soon!'

Thanks for the post.
