The SQL server uses gb2312(chinese) encoding and so in my Ruby script I use Iconv to convert from UTF-8 to gb2312. The conversion seems to work fine, I have tried dumping the output to a text file and it all looks great, but when it's sent to the SQL server the chinese character get messed up(which I got to know after looking at the trace log). I'm using the DBI module to connect to the SQL server and "execute" function to send the query. Can anyone please suggest a fix ? Thanks, Bob -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
