PRB: Problem Using Extended/DBCS Characters in Catalog Name (186379)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Index Server 2.0
  • Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Site Server 3.0
This article was previously published under Q186379

SYMPTOMS

Index Server and Site Server might not recognize any DBCS or extended character in catalog names or in column/property names.

CAUSE

RESOLUTION

Index Server and Site Server recognize quoted strings as single IDs, even when they contain DBCS characters. If a catalog name or column name contains DBCS or extended characters it needs to be quoted.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

The first character must start with a-z|A-Z, while subsequent characters can be a-z|A-Z|0-9|<under_score>. If this were to include any other characters, the string must be double quoted.

REFERENCES

For more information on using catalogs and column/property names, please refer to Index Server or Site Server documentation.
