MyODBC 3.53 and Unicode

[Todd R]

At my company we are currently evaluating MySQL to see if it's feasible to port our enterprise apps over to it. One of the major roadblocks we've run into is the lack of true Unicode support in 3.51. All of our apps are Unicode and we require the driver to handle SQL_WCHAR correctly. In 3.51 we are seeing bugs when binding string parameters that lead us to think that Unicode support in 3.51 is either non-existent or spotty at best.

For exampe, a sql statement like "SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = ?", with a bound unicode string value of "John" is giving the error "Invalid column John".

Are there plans to fix things like this in the 3.51 tree, and if not does anyone have a rough estimate for when 3.53 will become available?

Thanks in advance,

Todd
