Insert into SQL Server changes accented characters to ?
Hello, All.
SQL Server and ASP Classic.
SQL Server 2019
Column = NVarChar
ASP Parameter
sqlKey.commandtext="insert into Owner (OwnerName)values(?)"
sqlKey.Parameters.Append sqlKey.CreateParameter("@OwnerName", adVarchar, adParamInput, 350, strRecord)I checked to see if there was an adNVarChar but did not find one in the ADOVBS.inc file.
I tried adVarWChar (NVarChar (SQL Server 7.0 +) ), and it inserted a
[Question make inside a Black Diamond] in the column.
I have this at the top of the insert.asp page.
Response.ContentType = "text/html"
Response.AddHeader "Content-Type", "text/html;charset=UTF-8"
Response.CodePage = 65001
Response.CharSet = "UTF-8"Any assistance on this would be great.
Thanks.
Wayne
Hi,
This data type should indeed be available in the ADOVBS.inc file in the ASP Classic project.
Cheers

Been a while, hope you are doing well.
I have <%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="65001"%>
Inside my database connection string page, so it is embedded in all pages, and unfortunately, it is not working.
dfke.
If it is, then please show its existence within the script.

Also, within IIS
ASP Properties
Code Page: 65001
I read that it would need to be set to [0]
I tried setting it to [0] and inserting the data again, but it still does not work.
This is the name I am trying to insert.

Hi,
You're right it's not in there. Sorry about that.
But Const adVarWChar = 202 does exist in the ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) library, which is part of the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) package.

adVarWChar saves the character as a
[Question mark inside a Black Diamond]
[Question mark inside a Black Diamond]
what collation is your sql database?

Hey, David.
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_
My Media Upload script inserts the characters correctly into this database.
So I know that it is inserting the characters correctly.

I just found this and will try and set it to the database.
LATIN1_GENERAL_100_CI_AS_S
I got an error alter database failed. the default collation of database, so I will work through what it suggests and see what I can do.
Also.
I tried to send that same name straight through the page, and it changed the character to the Black Diamond Question mark.
So, it is not only inserting the data but trying to display it. However, It can display it if it is already IN the database.
Bizarre issue.

I tried doing it, and since I am mirrored, I have to stop the mirror to do it.
What a pain in the butt.
The only other way to do it is to create a new database, TEST to see if I can insert it into it, and if so.
Then I can script out the database and re-create it using that Collation.

Created a new database in the Lessons Servers, and set the collation to: LATIN1_GENERAL_100_CI_AS_S
And this in the insert page.
Still inserted a Question Mark in place of the accented character.
So, still at a loss on WHY it is so hard to make this work.
