- Method
set_unicode_decode_mode
void set_unicode_decode_mode(int enable)
- Description
Enable or disable unicode decode mode.
In this mode, if the server supports UTF-8 then non-binary text
strings in results are automatically decoded to (possibly wide)
unicode strings. Not enabled by default.
The statement "SET character_set_results = utf8" is sent
to the server to enable the mode. When the mode is disabled,
"SET character_set_results = xxx" is sent, where
xxx is the connection charset that get_charset returns.
- Parameter enable
Nonzero enables this feature, zero disables it.
- Throws
Throws an exception if the server doesn't support this, i.e. if
the statement above fails. The MySQL system variable
character_set_results was added in MySQL 4.1.1.
An error is also thrown if Pike has been compiled with a MySQL
client library older than 4.1.0, which lack the necessary
support for this.
