api_encoding

This option controls the encoding of the string data a user application retrieves in. RaimaDB currently only supports "utf-8" (default) and "cp1252" (Windows 1252) encoding.

Default Value

The default value for api_encoding is "utf-8".

Example

api_encoding=cp1252

Note

The application developer is encouraged to use the default value for the api_encoding option.

Database Configuration Options

This option key is associated with the RDM_DB handle (or RDM_CPP::Db for C++) and can be set using one of the following functions:

• SQLSetConnectAttr()
• rdm_dbSetOption()
• rdm_dbSetOptions()
• RDM_CPP::Db::SetOption()
• RDM_CPP::Db::SetOptions()

The option key can also be associated with the RDM_TFS handle (or RDM_CPP::TFS for C++) which will be inherited by the next RDM_DB handle (or RDM_CPP::Db for C++) allocated. Modifications to the RDM_TFS after the RDM_DB is allocated have no effect on the allocated RDM_DB. The following functions can be used to set the key/values to be inherited later:

• rdm_tfsSetOptions()
• rdm_tfsSetOption()
• RDM_CPP::TFS::SetOption()
• RDM_CPP::TFS::SetOptions()
