Crystal Reports 11.8 and unicode support

[Former Member]

Hi all,

It is written that Crystal Reports supports unicode character data since version 9. In addition according to SQL Server jdbc driver documantation, sqljdbc4 driver supports unicode characters too. When I make a database connection with this driver, in Database Explorer I see that unicode fields look without problem. I also run a query with this connection and it worked problem-free. When I add a table which includes unicode fields to a crystal report, "Field Explorer" lists unicode fields datatype as unknown.

I think there is problem in Crystal Reports in Java.

Are there any workaround for this problem?

regards

The issue is specific to NVarchar and NChar. JDBC 3.x didn't support these explicitly, but is in JDBC 4.x

So you need to upgrade to the latest build of Crystal Reports Java (Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0).
